Pinochle is a big family tradition, and we still play it after Sunday dinner (which is around 2pm) for hours if we are all together. My granda used to make a supplementary income playing pinochle. It was the only gambling he ever did, and he rarely lost.
You just reminded me that my grandfather also played pinochle. I remember once looking at a pinochle deck and asking him what happened to all the 2 through 8s.
I like Monopoly, Scrabble, Blackjack, chess, checkers, and a board game called Frustration (later Trouble) I guess because it resembles a racetrack, and can move almost as fast, too. The original Trivial Pursuit was fun because it was a novel idea at the time, and allowed us to reminisce, which is always fun. I was in my early twenties when it first came out.
