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. By the end of the night our table had a skull candle, a bible card game and three colors of “fun dough.” But before the bingo festivities …

It’s “the 3-minute word search game” that everybody plays at the same time. And for those of you who …

I was cruising the game aisle at my local Target the other day when I witnessed something that I believe happens all the time. A woman shopping with her daughter picked up a card game off the shelf and said “this looks cute, but I wonder if it’s any good?” I thought, “I love that game!” should I intervene and tell her it’s worth all $5.99?
