Growing up was fun,ย we all had our fair shares of gaming to pass the time especially during the Long vacations.

Those were good times. Some of the popular games were whot, monopoly and the name game a.k.a name, animal, place, thing, food.

So I’ll just give a run through of some of the different types of gamers.

first we have the cheats who work their magic either by stealing monopoly notes (you know yourself) or hiding your cards and the worst generating words that you know are just stupid!! E.g giraffe meat for food when g is called upon.

Next we have the complainers, now this is that person who always laments when they are loosing, “there’s something wrong with the dice” “you didn’t shuffle the cards well, you put all the bad cards in one place” ” you counted too fast so I couldn’t finish writing out my stuff” sometimes they may even occasionally call in the cavalry “Mummy!! They are cheating in the game”

(Honestly I prefer the cheats to the complainers)

Then there’s the hyena, everything tickles them (this is me) their state in the game is not relevant all they do is laugh at everything which can get quite annoying at some point but hey..what’s life without laughter right? “Kike pick two” burst into laughter “I’m buying Mayfair” bursts into laughter ” I call on the letter Q” bursts into laughter. It is my belief that gaming excites me endlessly and I love the fact that I comes capped with enjoying other people’s company so here’s to us the hyenas of the game!!!

Which brings us to the overly serious gamers, that treat each game with precision and determination and focus like a doctor would treat a surgery. No laughter, no mercy, limited banter just straight up playing to kill, these are the ones who will hand you 3 pick 3s and 2 pick twos at the same time then add 2 general markets for everybody play a hold and check up without even cracking a smile. ( brutal)

It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt and that someone is the sensitive one who then ups and quits the game(rolling my eyes!! They are the worst) in my experience they are already failing and have been on a bad streak for a while maybe chance sent them to jail or they don’t have enough cards to claim jackpot or they haven’t got and animal for X so they act all “I’m not even playing again.” Which can be super annoying.

Lastly but definitely not least, there were the normal people who gaming didn’t chsnge a thing about them, they weren’t overly competitive nor hyperactive from the thrill of the game.

Oh and just for a mention, we had the overly comoetitive category of people…we all know them.

Still, those were good times and it made for good memories I reckon.

I’m sure we all experienced this at some point with siblings or even friends, leave a comment below on what type of gamer you were and even if it wasn’t mentioned above tell it anyways.

See you next week. Thanks for reading๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

    Lol… My gaming style was always influenced by how I felt @the moment

    But I think I was a mixture so I’ll say I was/am a “serious hyena”

    Lol

    “Iโ€™m not even playing again.โ€…that sounds like me. Lol
    Would give up when there are no means of winning & with my cheat sister always making matters worse.
    Lovely write-up Kike; brings back beautiful memories.
