I've mentioned Owzthat before. I manage the nuts Owzthat team,and you'll be pleased to learn we played a game on Monday against a 'TV Detectives XI' and won by 6 wickets. Norpig top scored with 71.
Frank Cannon came in very handy for rolling the wicket.

It's a game where the person who has the most marbles in their out wins, you can only move so far around with the mount of marbles are in that pot.

It originated in Africa and are slight variations in the rules other countries play.

Usually play the Mak Khom variant. 

Can I add backgammon to the list.

Used to love playing Battleships when I was a kid - not any more though.

Still play a lot of cards - in the old days used to play Patience, to pass the time away - these days I play things like 'spider' on the computer.

Perhaps I really should get out more!

I like spider solitaire

Does Blow Football count as a board game or is it just an excuse to get the family round a table and smoke a few doobies?
