very rarely Chris! but when we do, we have loads of fun - had a Uno party a few months ago with a couple of friends and we howled with laughter!
also when we go to my husband's country, we kind of go back to basics for a bit, and we do have monopoly games there...

Ah see they have it right in your in-laws house, games that you can all have fun with, even if the money is fake !!! lol

See if you had fun at the Uno party (explain what that is by the way !!! lol) you should make a determined effort to play 'real' games more often, you will have lots of fun ! lol

Uno is a card game usually for kids which works by tricking other people into taking your cards... the first person without cards left wins the hand, and then the others have to count points, we play a few hands and the first person who gets to a certain number of points looses the game... it gets very frustrating because you can get to 1 card and then end up back with a full set really quickly! If you have a few people around the table, and yeah a bottle of wine helps loosen things up, it gets really comical. Especially the way my husband plays, he's an arrogant so-and-so our friends love to put in his place and gang up on him -

- with love obviously!
