    So to make sure I don't just become a couch potato on the coming winter weekends and to keep engaged, my wife and play some mind stimulating games; Scrabble, Blockus; etc. one particular favorite is called "Banana Peel" where you make words on scrabble like pieces but there's a time element. Anyone else have any recommendations?

    Balderdash is fun.

    Chess.

    Chutes and Ladders. Or is that Candyland?

    Cribbage. My wife and I played it (not responsible for demise of marriage), my son and his wife play it after the kids are in bed. Great game.
    I also love backgammon. I got my wedding party members a board as their gift (not responsible for demise of marriage) and still have two myself - a fancy one and a regular one.

    Both games can be finished in 15 or so minutes, they don't drag on forever like some do.

    I don't see you guys rating
    The kind of mate I'm contemplating
    I'd let you watch, I would invite you
    But the queens we use would not excite you

    You've been rooked and you're just a pawn in their game.

    Bring it. You'll find yourself pinned and forked, and not in the fun way.
