I’m from a family of gamers. Monopoly, Scrabble, Yahtzee. We recently added Settlers of Catan to our repertoire.
One of our favorite games to play together (the women, I mean. The men would rather watch March Madness!) is one we picked up years ago when my sister was living in Hong Kong. You could walk through the streets in some of the fishing villages and hear the click-clack of tiles as people played lightning-fast games of mahjong. The game
