Played cards too with my parents, and siblings, gin rummy was a big one; plus whatever we would get from hoyles. Once I had chess dreams though, that and being good enough to beat the average person, it lost its magic. Friends took me to a pub in SF where they were all playing chess for pints, I found my limits on pints that afternoon. Squad Leader one had a blank chit for a leader one could play through linked scenarios and rise in rank, and ability; sometimes joke that is the first RPG I played. I loved the microgames, and task force games in plastic bags. Played Battle of the Five Armies by TSR before D&D, and the Imperium board game before Traveller.</p></blockquote><p></p>
