Very cool to see a French scrabble board.

Yes, that's extremement fine!

Yes, and "Ronronna" nicely fits any obligatory kitten stuff...

Is there a Ronronna at Hoggett Farm?

I guess there's a lot of purring going on there.

Years ago, WE as family stopped playing scrabbleco's dad would "invent" words that weren't in any dictionary, in any language and would start an argument that his word was a "true" word..

Well, maybe it was a true word. It's just that the first person to coin a word doesn't get to see it in a dictionary for some time to come.

I used to get away with that.

Congratulations - that is a milestone

Backgammon was the game I struggled with - a great feeling when I got my first win!

I like Scrabble, but haven’t played it for years because none of my family like it (perhaps because they struggled to win )

I haven't played scrabble very many times.

Thanks, all

There's no making up new words in this family. The dictionary is on the table.

All the good emojis plus a few bad ones

I once played chess with myself and (did not cheat) and I actually won myself

I used to play chess in highschool with a friend (we had the same subjects and thus the same 3 hours unplanned inbetween time a week) At some point we stopped because I kept winning.

I've often played with myself, but I'm not saying whether it was chess I was plying.

The innocent explanaiton is that I like to play solitaire cards, games like Free Cell.

"I've often played with myself, but I'm not saying whether it was chess I was plying"

I said to mate the other day - coronavirus and self isolation, I'm having to play with myself

I ain't so common I've got curtains
