Which ones will stay and which one will go? 'Monopoly' will be replacing one of their iconic game pieces and you get to choose the new one. Hasbro is asking fans to vote on which of its eight game tokens should remain and which token should be retired. 'Monopoly' kicked off its 'Save Your Token' campaign this week letting players vote on-line.

After leaving the station and creeping up the highway back to our home in Clinton yesterday, I couldn't wait to sit back and relax on the couch with a nice cup of hot cocoa. HA HA!! Fat chance!

Chad and I love to play games against each other. Except with Carrum, because I CAN'T WIN!!  But I digress.... I'm just as hooked as everyone else when it comes to my smartphone. I have 3 games that I have downloaded.  Scramble, Hanging With Friends and Words With Friends. But has anyone else noticed the similiarities?

The commercials on Nickelodeon aren't going to help when the last Chuck E. Cheese in Maine closes its doors on Sunday. Out of the blue to all of us, their only Maine location couldn't come to an agreement on lease terms. School children all over Maine are going to have to do without...or do they?

It's a fine enough movie that made some money and showed off what were, at the time, some impressive visual FX.

Alan Kingstone, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia, had been working on this quandary and was having trouble thinking of an experiment which separated the eyes from the center of the face. He was telling h

We've all played it. Your parents probably introduced it to you when you were small. Or maybe it happened when your friends got their first car in high school and you went driving around with them for the first time at night. And, you admit, sometimes it got out of hand. But one thing was for sure...it was fun!

One would think after the 'Battleship' debacle there'd be a reluctance to base movies on board games. Alas, Hasbro recently signed a deal with Universal to bring more games to the big screen, including (yes, this is real) 'Hungry Hungry Hippos.'

When we were going through Nana's garage looking for the tree stand for deer season on Monday, Chad found THIS! He was all excited about it. I, however, said "Why are you so excited by a checkerboard?" He said, "THIS is no checkerboard! Well, it kind of is. You can play checkers and a whole bunch of different games on it. But that's not the point...THIS is a

The second annual Redneck Olympics will be coming to Van Buran County Fairgrounds in Clinton, Arkansas October 13th and 14th. There are more than 15 fun events for rednecks of all age to participate in and live music all day long both days.
