Yahtzee


We have added a new game to our repertoire here in Granada Avenue: Yahtzee. Sarah last played it when she was at University, I maybe thirty-five years ago, so it's nice for us to renew acquaintance with the game and to introduce it to Sophie, Kiki and, almost, Harry.
We had our first game last evening and Grandpa won. I am not bragging, I just want it to go on record that I won a game, as it will almost certainly be the last. Already, Kiki is throwing yahtzees and playing the odds, so there's little hope for the rest of us.
PS The pic is of the original 1956 boxed version. The packaging has been jazzed up since then, but the game's the same. For an account of the game and its history, click here.
