The differences are enough that you could then look into easing into other types of games...Dr. Matt J.

That is the only board game my husband and his friends are familiar with, and I am trying to ease us all into more modern games.Dani In NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032707452740200776noreply@blogger.com
