Games

[burnie]

I have been doing card and mahjong games on the 'puter to keep the old grey matter churning since retiring. Just the free Microsoft ones that come with Windows software, today I have completed the daily challenges for the entire month in both. First time I've managed this, I've done one or the other, but not both, feeling quite smug with myself(I think it's a bit like crosswords, once you get into the setters/programmers head, you get a feel for the games lol).
Anyone else do brain exercises'?

Suduko from time to time...I find it de-stressing!

Never could stand crosswords for some reason.
Learning a foreign language is supposed to be a 'brain exercise' so I suppose I'm doing that too on a daily basis.

Suduko completely baffles me, I don't think I've ever managed to finish one

I love playing scrabble via the free app Words by Post on my phone. It gets a bit addictive though, and I've learnt hundreds of short permutations (eg Ka, Za, Xi, Qat etc.). The downside of playing random people is I suspect quite a few are just using anagram sites, which makes it a bit one-sided.

Scrabble with my daughter and a couple of friends. Times concise crossword with my first cuppa tea, I might try the cryptic one later if I'm not busy. I also do an American crossword every morning but I sometimes cheat on that as I'm not au fait with American sports or their television channels and presenters, their spelling is sometimes a challenge.

Also, Candy Crush and BubbleWitch.

I would like to play adventure games but they aren't compatible with a laptop or iPad.
Sudoku has never interested me.

I play pyramid solitaire saga, a good card game, scrabble, boggle, spider solitaire, tetrus, majhong and any other brain game that apoeals.
I read and do the puzzles in the newspapers but cant get my head around soduku.

I make games for a living, so I like to get away from computer screens when I'm not at work!

I like the odd game of Scrabble with my OH, and we used to play Ruzzle on our phones but haven't done that for ages as she always beat me. We occasionally do a crossword together, and try (and usually fail) to answer a question or two on University Challenge.

Sudoku for me too plus I like crosswords although the cryptic ones I just can't do. I also play solitaire on the iPad sometimes.
