Aloha Friday #8


Fridays are the days we take it easy in Hawaii. We call it Aloha Friday, much like what folks on the mainland call TGIF. I post a question, and you comment. That's it, unless you want to ask your own question at An Island Life. My question is:
Do you play games for fun or for money?
We have been known to do both. I have more fun playing for prizes than for money, though. Come back tomorrow and read how my four year old plays with poker chips and dominoes.

  3. I love to play games. My husband only likes video games which I don't like. I did play the Wii for the first last night and liked it. Bowling is so much easier than in real life.

    In Vegas, I play pai gow poker because it is the only game that I have found where I can play for a long time before losing my money. I don't play to win money; I know I won't win any. I sit down knowing that I am spending a certain amount of money to play for a few hours.

  5. I grew up playing poker for pennies on every boating trip we took and there were lots! Now? I haven't played poker in years & we always play board games or phase 10! sigh... sometimes I miss my misspent youth!

  18. I play for fun. I hate taking things from my friends. And for some reason, I get embarrassed when I win prizes. Probably inside-out pride. :)
