We photographed my moment of victory! We played the Moose Spotting Game. Basically, the first one to 20 points wins. You win by rolling the dice and each moose equals a point (well if you want to get technical - 2 = 3, 3 = 5, 5 = ... so the more moose on a roll the better) This is the first time any of us had rolled four moose (what's the plural of moose?)
I've decided I really enjoy low-tech, low-thinking games. This is pure luck with a little bit of risk - if you get a moose you can roll again to try for more moose! The Woods are the reigning champs both at Jackson and in our home. For what its worth, Steve and I do plan to practice before we play again. What's your favorite game? And, if anyone has a great solution for cleaning the grooves in a table - those comments are welcome as well!

I love dice games! There is one I played a while back called "greed": so much fun! No advice for cleaning table groves, other than maybe a car detailing cleaner? Those are pretty small.
I've never heard of Moose Spotting before! Those dice are cute! I don't think your table grooves look bad, but maybe try some Q-tips? My favorite group game is Rummikub. Our younger daughter can beat the pants off all the rest of us. And I'm a Scrabble fan, too.
Sarah - yes, we love greed too! We play it every Christmas Eve. Great idea on the car detailing - i'll check it out.
Mimi - Great idea on the q-tips - will give that a try. My parents LOVE Scrabble, too. Rummikub - haven't played it forever, fun!
Try putting the tip of a butterknife over your wash cloth. It works for me. Sometimes I have to dig a bit but than I have kids in my house still. Been a while since I cleaned those grooves. Thanks for the reminder.:)SLY
Never head of the Moose Spotting game - that's great! I love the low intensity games too - allows for more socialization!
