My brother brought over a few decks of cards, and we decided to play Chinese rummy, one of our favorite family games when I was growing up. There are 11 rounds with different combinations of hands that one has to make over the course of the game. Though I had not played in over 20 years, it was like riding a bike. I won six hands in a row!
Though my kids blamed my card counting, I like to think that the familiarity of the game - even though it had been so long since I played - also played a big part.
I suppose I should bask in my glory because they, too, may become familiar sometime soon!
