Any
family card game or board game that we undertake in our household has a
tendency to descend into chaos. Most blame me of course and accuse me of
cheating, which I don’t, but I do admit that I have a tendency to bend the
rules.
Match
me against my niece Samanmalee, aka Sam (pretty, 35+), and things become
totally mired. For a start, Sam has a broadband brain combined with a 100
gigahertz clock speed, plus a loud mouth. She can also turn her charm on and
off rapidly to suit the circumstances.
The
other day, we were all at a loose end and decided to play a game of Monopoly to
pass the time.
