is it bad to admit that i had never played
~parcheesi~
until last night?
yesterday,
i found a vintage parcheesi game
i found a vintage parcheesi game
(with all the pieces)
at one of my favorite thrift stores.
i have a thing for vintage game boards,
so i knew i would use it
in a vignette somewhere in my house
even if we didn't like the game.
{are you checking out how insanely cool the game board is?}
i played last night with marian (10) and ned (5).
we were learning the game as we went.
despite the fact that it has a few complicated rules,
it was instantly fun & we can't wait to play again.
during our game, i had several conversations with ned
about being a good sport (which he found difficult).
i made up a new rule:
if a person starts to feel like whining "no fair!"
they must stand up & do a little parcheesi dance.
~it worked wonders~

I have never played either...or seen the cool board. I think the dance is a perfect idea!
OK..can I buy this from you??? :) I need one of these! This brings back so many wonderful memories of my Grandmother. We used to play this with her all the time. I can actually hear the sound of the dice being shaken in that tube! I'm on a mission to find one of these. LOVE vintage board games...great post Catie!! xoxo

I've never played this game either! Looks fun, and we love board games and cards around here. Maybe e-bay has another one for Pam?
my mom has a vintage chinese checkers board hanging on her wall - it looks very cool! don't you love that you can always break a kid down with a little silliness?
