I received some gifts this Christmas from my brother and his wife, didn't give any in return (unless I count the food) and played a few matches, matches which my brother won four of the five.

It is funny how games which involve dices can sometimes last hours, and in some cases last less that the time needed to set up the board.

In any case the night ended with everyone involved wishing they could fit more food in their stomach, even before the dessert was placed in the table, and all guests taking some food home.

As it is proper for the end of any family party.
