Birk has been home almost a week, and I still haven't taken advantage of having a second person around to play a board game with me! Well, until now.
If you aren't familiar with Chinese Checkers, here's how it works: your marbles start out in one of the triangles, and you want to get them into the triangle directly opposite yours. (In a two-player game, you start in triangles directly opposite your opponent.) On your turn, you can move one marble, and it can either go one spot (along the black lines on the board) or it can hop over single marbles (like hopping checkers) as many times as it can. Sometimes you get a neat ladder going, and your marble can hop a dozen spots in one turn!
He won, of course, because he's good at games like this. (He played white marbles, I played black marbles.)
