REVIEW PROMOTION When it comes to timeless games that are simple to pick up and play for casual and strategic players alike Draughts, or Checkers, has to be near the top of the list. GamoVation has made the definitive Android version in its Quick Checkers game.
Checkers is a game as old as time itself, with records dating back at least 5,000 years. What could be simpler? Two players face off on opposing sides of the 8x8 checkered board with 12 discs. Pieces move diagonally, jumping over - or taking - opponent pieces when a gap is available on the other side. You don’t need any special equipment; you can make a board on paper or in the dirt, you can play with stones or coins.
1- Enjoy a winter bbq on the deck. So winter might not be the traditional time to throw a chop or steak on the outdoor grill, so why not be bold when you do and try a homemade barbecue sauce, maybe something using locally sourced honey? 2- Write a letter letting your family know you love them. It may seem a bit old-fashioned but there is something deeply personal about a handwritten letter, and we could all use some practice with our writing skills in this largely text-based world. 3- Make homemade butter with your kids. 4- Go through your clothes and donate the ones you don’t wear anymore. We all have them, the ones that time has shrunk, or that are simply out-of-fashion (Do you really need to keep those corduroy bell-bottoms?) So pass them on.
