I LOVE this question. It is so fun to hear how all of us found an enjoyment in the game of something as simple as a little box of cards or a pair of dice....LOL
My earliest memory is when I was probably 8 or 9 years old. My father had 11 brothers and sisters who all had children(my cousins).
The women were mostly factory workers and the men construction workers.
On Saturday we would load up in the back of our pickup trucks and all go to Grandmas house. We would all take a dish and have this amazing dinners.
Well right after dinner the smell of coffee would begin to permeate threw the house and the already stretched out 4 leaf table would be cleared and cleaned and that is when the fun would begin....
Everyone brought there chain jars and the cards would start to glide around the table as if they rode on an invisible plain just inches above the table...LOL
Laughs and memories were had on an epic scale!
To this day I still find the game to be one of the most fascinating and exploratory events a small group of people can have.
Fun question....
