The Joy of Gaming - Ray's Rate a Shelf #45
At the beginning of this year, my husband started a Twitter feed, posting a different part of our game shelves and rating the games that are on them. I was so impressed by this activity, I thought it would be great to share it on my blog.

Rate a Shelf: @Zmangames_ @GTGamesLLC @FFGames @IelloUSA Here we are, the last shelf of the collection. Right on my desk so I stare at it pretty much all day! pic.twitter.com/qkVHnWcNpk— Ray Bonilla (@OldManMerton) February 17, 2018

The Joy of Gaming: December Challenge 2018 - Day 18: Parade
Parade is a game I saw a long time ago. I wanted it, but it was something like $80-$100, because it was out of print. I was keeping my eye on it, until finally I saw that it was getting a reprint. And today I got to play it.
To be honest, I actually screwed up the day for the game. See... I had put High Society, forgetting that you need three players. I thought my daughter could handle it and, I'm sure, she probably could have, but we decided to scrap it for something else. While my husband's calendar says High Society, I adjusted my own calendar to be Parade. I'm glad I did, because it was a quick, thinky game that had a mechanic I really enjoyed.

Personalized Advent Stockings 2018 - December 18
I got a pack of them, so she'll have this little set by the end of the calendar. I'm not exactly sure what she's doing with them, but.... this is her picture arrangement.
Elf on the Shelf Hide-and-Seek - December 18
Apparently Elfie forgot to move again. Must have been tired from all the back-and-forth. So I thought I'd share with you the game inspired by the trend.

The Joy of Gaming: December Challenge 2018 - Day 17: Fog of Love
Oh my goodness.... Fog of Love is a game that my husband and I started playing last February. After that play we, sadly, haven't broken it out again together. Tonight, though, we were ready. From the get-go, this relationship was going to be rough. He was into high heels and nerdy glasses. I was a short, muscle-building royal heiress. Doomed from the beginning. We just laughed and laughed as we failed and failed again. If it had just been me and him answering the questions as ourselves, we would have been totally in-sync, but answering them as our characters just wasn't holding up. Interestingly enough, we both chose the same ending... an Honorable Exit. Thank goodness, because pregnant or not... we were not meant to be.
I had to come back in and add this:
I can't wait to play again. We had so much fun, created so many more inside jokes, and are still giggling about things that happened. Winter break is just around the corner.
