Is this thread supposed to be about board games or "real" games? Lol
I was thinking track and field when I lived in Eugene Oregon. We literally had a meet every weekend, every summer I lived there. I have more ribbons, medals and cups than you can imagine. There was nothing like that in Canada. No wonder the sport is so strong in the US.
After my Dad got his PhD my Oregon days ended! The winters were long and I took up competitive badminton, a nice, fast indoor game. One year, our family one "Most Active Badminton Family" award where we played, because we were literally there all the time! Plus both my parents played in singles ladders, and mixed doubles, and men's and ladies doubles.
There simply was no time for board games!
Oh right, I played golf all summer and hated every minute of those 6 hour rounds, mostly spent in the rough looking for lost balls, I had a long, wicked slice, and all the lessons in the world from the pro couldn't straighten it up for more than a few days!
