Play your cards right!

Yesterday for family games we played card games only. We started off with a few games of rummy. I'd say Mummy was the best in that. Second we played UNO. I think daddy was the best at that. Last of all we played monopoly deal. Last time I played a sneaky move on mummy. I used a card that let us traid property. She played her just say no card on me. I was kind of expecting it so I played a deal breaker. (Steal any set of your opponents) This time I started rather poorly. It all changed when I got a property wild card. I built up a full set of yellows and put a house on it. This wasn't the end. I charged everyone rent and I doubled it! 18m of money came to me through property's or money. Mummy had a just say no card but it didn't matter. I took the win easily. At the end I counted my property's. 18 of them! Daddy won the second game.

Soccer World Cup

On Saturday morning the whole family woke up at 1:00 to see the World Cup opener between SA and Mexico. Mexico were the clear favorites to win this game but as the match went on SA hung on. The hosts were actually the first to score a goal but unfortunately Mexico came back in it with a rather late goal. SA had a great chance for the win late in the second half but were denied as the ball flew off the post. 1-1 draw in the end. Well done South Africa!
