    Question Have you ever played Chinese Checkers

    I love the game and have played it since I was about 5 with my Uncle who also loved it. I'm finally teaching my kids to play the game and they are beginning to be fascinated with it also.

    Do you or have you played it?

    Oh my gosh, I haven't played since I was a kid. I bet Gabe would like to play. Maybe after the holiday I'll pick one up. I'm going to check ebay.

    Yes, but I haven't played since I was a kid.

    I think it would make a good family Christmas present. Dd is very interested in learning it.

    We love chinese checkers, chess, backgammon, checkers, mancala, actually the kids and I play lots of games - it's geeting hard to find new ones each year!! We have game night every week and the night varies based on when they go to Daddy's. We have some real old games we play too like don't break the ice, cootie, risk, aggravation, jenga, pickup sticks, toss across, and Twister!!

    I played this when I was a child and now play it with my kids. We love it. We also like aggrevation sp? We really don't take the time to play games like we should. I think that that will be one of my goals for the winter.
    Thanks for reminding me.

    I've loved Chinese Checkers since I was a young child and have fond memories of playing it with my Grandmother at the cottage.

    I still have her original tin game and played it with my own children growing up .. and still do.

    I haven't played the real game in years. A couple weeks ago I played with some friend's children and mine but we played by the kids's rules which changed several times lol. I really need a refresher course. I think ds would love to learn to play it.
