I grew up playing Scrabble and Charades with my family, Monopoly and Milles Bornes with my peers. When I left home I got sucked into a card playing vortex: Sheepshead and Euchre, Pinochle, Bid Whist, Hearts, Spades. The first two are Northern European games with elaborate specialized vocabulary (German or Danish, depending on who taught me) as well as novel card rank (J Q K A 10 9 8 7).
When I need soothing, I reach for super-simple games requiring repetitive motion and no thought whatsoever (no reading, for example: just color and shape cues). My first love was a Classic Daleks freeware on System 6 for my 512K Mac. Currently I play 2048 Hex on my iPad.
Playing with my dog is always soothing -- here's MyGuy playing that deep strategy game "stick."
