Waterworks is a game by Parker Brothers from 1972. Personally, I had never heard of this classic card game. In this original leaky pipe card game just be the first player to complete a pipeline from valve to spout! This card game is for ages 8 and up with 2 to 4 players. There are two decks of cards and a total of 11o pipe cards and 8 little metal wrenches. Players begin with a hand of five pipe cards and two wrenches. Cards used in play are lead pipe cards, copper pipe cards (invulnerable to leaks), and lead pipe cards that are already leaky. The valve card is placed on the table to begin a player’s pipeline. The spout card is set aside until it is used by a player who has completed their pipeline, and then immediately, the player ends the game by placing the spout aimed down toward the player. Waterworks Game gets so many laughs when any number of pipe shapes are played. L bends, T-pipes, straight, with the best being the leaky pipes!! Players can’t add more pipe until your leak is repaired. So how do you fix a leaky pipe? Well, by either placing…

Celebrating more than 25 years of Pig-tastic fun! Rack up points by rolling the pig-dice but be careful not to ”Pig Out.” A classic party game enjoyed by Oscar nominated star Jeff Bridges! Another game that I have never heard of, but I’m very glad to have it in our game arsenal now!!  Ahhhh Pass The Pigs!! Another classic game from the 70’s! WOW where WAS I in the 70’s??  1977 to be exact. Pass The Pigs game is guaranteed make you laugh! Instead of rolling dice you are rolling PIGS!! 2 cute little pink pigs!  The game consists of roll the little pigs and how they land determines your score. From landing standing up, on their side, on their back, on their nose, or on an ear; basically a 6 sided dice. The object of the game is for each player to roll a pair of pigs and try to match the position of the pigs as pictured on one of the Pig Roll cards. The pigs have excellent details. Snout, ears, legs and tail and when you toss them in the air  they somehow land in a different position every time. Trotter – the pig stands upright on all 4 legs Razorback –…

2016 is racing towards us at lightning speed!! Do you realize we will be singing Auld Lang Syne in just 9 days!! Seriously, nine days!!  Didn’t we JUST say Happy New Year a few weeks ago?!?! Our family has a few quirky traditions that we do every year to ring in the New Year, for instance, at 11:58 pm we open the back door and let out all the bad things that happened the previous year. At midnight, we open the front door and let in all the good luck and prosperity.  At the front door are 12 green grapes for each of us. The 12 grapes represent 12 months of good luck. Of course, the grapes are tricky!! You have to eat 12 grapes in a minute!! Be sure all 12 grapes are gone before 12:01!  Bite and swallow, try not to choke; that would take the year in a whole different direction! Black-eyed peas On January 1st have a bowl of Black-eyed Peas to bring the entire family prosperity. 2016 I am adding a very beautiful and much easier GOOD LUCK tradition to our home!!  Displaying our new Prosperity obelisk.  A beautiful jade sculpture!! This is a Carved Jade Obelisk…
