On our vacation in Washington State a few weeks before brain surgery, we did a bit of road tripping. We flew to Seattle and then drove >4 hours to vacation with my brother in the Methow valley of the Cascade Mountains. We played a lot of car games, and my youngest invented a car game on the spot. It's too good not to share. She said let's play Uno, so we dubbed this version CarUno. For those of you who haven't played Uno in awhile, it's a card game whereby play proceeds by playing a card from your hand that matches either the color or the number of the card that is in play. CarUno is built on I spy--look out the window and spy something, then say two features of the thing that you spy. I see something green and bushy. For CarUno, the next player can spy something either green or bushy. I see something green and signy. I see something that is signy and yellow. And on our trip we decided that waterfalls were wild. So if we happened past a waterfall on your turn you could claim it and save it for later to change the features.
That's CarUno! Let us know if you give it a try (I'm looking at you, Nicole!)
Love it!
ReplyDeleteYpu are healing leaps and bounds Sister!! So proud of you xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! Such a creative twist :) And you know we need more games for our long drives down to visit - I think we'll wait until you've stacked a few more pancakes (and iowa gets passed the 'Hell's front step' season of the year) but expect we'll be able to swing down for a visit again before the snow flies (or at least before it stays on the ground here in Canada!)
