ghoti_mhic_uaitRecently, I have mostly been playing games at http://www.americangirl.com
Benedict was distressed at the fact that the games are behind a link marked 'fun for girls'; "I probably would enjoy those games, but I'm not allowed, because I'm not a girl". I pointed out that I'm not exactly a girl either, and he could safely ignore it, and then he got annoyed "but that's just sexism, isn't it?" Well, yes, it is, but that doens't mean you should give in to it. Maybe we should send them an email; they do market mostly to girls, but they'd only need to delete a couple of words.
Anyway, go play, they have good games, including a mancala variant which I can actually win about 50% of the time, and Spit as previously mentioned, and a market game in both English and Spanish, and... bunch of stuff.
(That's Benedict's doll in the picture; he doesn't like to play with her any more, but sometimes she pesters him for stories so much he gives in. He's nice like that.)
