Well, that's not absolutely true. We still have 24 hours per day, but we now work more slowly and have so many different interests that we don't feel we have as much time for some hobbies as we had hoped. I had planned to set up some "retirement" games and play by email or whatever, but there just hasn't been time. I guess it depends on how many other interests you have. We spread ourselves rather thinly over a variety of activities. Of course, the decisions on priorities are mostly ours to make, so we can only blame ourselves.<BR/><BR/>Regarding purchases -- I didn't see Hacienda on your list. I really enjoy Around the World in 80 Days, and it is a light game. Good luck with your decisions.Gerald McDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03032201828179314072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1155301929852735582006-08-11T06:12:00.000-07:002006-08-11T06:12:00.000-07:00Get a game couch and buy them all.For me, about ha...Get a game couch and buy them all.<BR/><BR/>For me, about half the time anyway, the games that get played are the ones I suspect will gather dust on the game couch, and the ones I am most excited about fall flat.Coldfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636345146138362966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1155299909630011572006-08-11T05:38:00.000-07:002006-08-11T05:38:00.000-07:00It's always nice to find others who have retiremen...It's always nice to find others who have retirement games in their collections - interestingly, most of Fraser's retirement games seem to be wargames too, where mine are just the longer boardgames - Civilisation, History of the World, even Britannia and die Macher.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731608339380263848noreply@blogger.com
