100 Words: About Chinese Checkers

Cleaned up two beautiful old Chinese checkers boards I hadn’t seen in years, “Ming Check” and “Hop Ching Checkers.” We played a game--still fun, like always. Corie cleaned up an old poker chip holder and found a two-deck Renaissance playing card pack faced with Leonardo’s “Mona Lisa” and “Portrait of A Musician.” She says I bought them for her as a gift. We also dredged up two other ancient games never even opened--a dice bowling game (ages 8+) and a fingerboard tabletop football flick game (ages 5+). Maybe the football game next—dice game may be too advanced.
