"YAHTZEE!" We were all so bored. We had already gotten tired of the more interesting board games that had been stashed here. You can honestly only play Settlers of Catan so many times until it just turns into a chore. Surprisingly, the more repetitive games had better longevity. We had to call a stop to Risk and Monopoly, though. It's just too crowded down here for that kind of hostility. It's still not safe to go outside, though. If that rain gets on you, you're done. So today it's Yahtzee and yet another #10 can of beans split 9 ways.
