On Saturday, Nov. 13 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) during National Gaming Day @ Your Library, I imagine that a lot of people will be excited about learning to play Mahjong (AND the special tea service I am planning, ladies!) or hanging out playing Texas Hold ‘em, and definitely taking part in the Minute to Win It challenges. Personally, I am secretly going to be wishing that I could sneak over with the Stillwater Chess Club and learn how to play.
Although we’ll have instructors available to teach you how to play the games, you may want to come in early to check out some of these easy to understand game books:
· Learning chess in 30 minutes: chess for absolute beginners (DVD).
· Chess for kids by Michael Basman.
· Learn chess in a weekend by Ken Whyld.
· Texas hold'em for dummies by Mark Harlan.
· The New Complete Hoyle : the authoritative guide to the official rules of all popular games of skill and chance--includes instruction for card games, board, games, Mahjong, and much more).
· Monopoly : the world's most famous game-- and how it got that way by Philip Orbanes.
· The Games Treasury by Merilyn Simonds Mohr—a compilation of instructions for all manner of card and board games, including the very difficult to master Chutes and Ladders.
· While fido won’t be able to come in on Saturday, be sure to look for this upcoming book so he can join in the fun at home: 50 games to play with your dog by Suellen Dainty (how dreamy is her name!).
Whatever game you choose to play at the library next Saturday, it will be all the more fun if you bring your friends and family. So pull the kids away from the TV and tell hubby (or the wife) that he can just as easily watch the OSU-Texas game at the library as at home!
