Not far from my house there is a dive bar, with scary red lighting that hosts bingo on Monday nights. It’s really not all that exciting; you win a brown paper lunch bag filled with random odd items. I was lucky enough to win the first round Monday night and my winnings included some Cheez-It snacks, baby food, a bunny sucker and Chicklets.

Today’s pick is Can’t Stop by Sid Sackson. Currently this dice games tops tall the others because I’m just so addicted to it and it’s an oldie but a goodie. It was originally published in 1980 by Parker Brothers but was reprinted by Face 2 Face games back in 2007 and that’s when I got my copy.
The game is so easy to learn and play. You’re trying to move your pieces from the bottom of the board to the top in columns numbered 2-12. There are only 3 spaces in …
