kelly3399 Posted February 4, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2013 When we were last on QM2, there were tables along the windows on deck 2 with games and puzzles that could be enjoyed by anyone. We are crossing in July with 2 teens and wonder if anyone who has been on recently knows which games are available? Thank you, Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw many other games boxes, sadly I didn't note the names :( , sorry. I also saw several unattended jigsaw puzzles laid out, half completed (they might be finished by now ;)). Hope this helps, Bon Voyage! :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are crossing in July with 2 teens and wonder if anyone who has been on recently knows which games are available? Thank you, Kelly As I recall, in addition to Scrabble (look out for missing tiles!) and Monopoly, there were chess, checkers, backgammon, and Life, among others. This was two years ago, but I doubt that much has changed. Like you, we'll be crossing again in July and doubtless we'll find ourselves playing some of those games ourselves.

seasidegal Posted February 5, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 5, 2013 We pack a simple chess set and a deck of cards for our personal use. We take: Bananagrams: http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/toys/Bananagrams/856739001159-item.html?s_campaign=goo-ToysByBoardGames&gclid=CKO84NLtn7UCFQiqnQodaXYAkA&cookieCheck=1 Have taken it on every cruise/crossing since 2008 when a friend gave it to me. It is so much fun and a great way to meet other people and takes up very little room in the suitcase. Also take: Moose http://www.amazon.com/Flat-Pack-Farkel-Moose/dp/B00124714Q/ref=pd_sim_sg_2 Very small package and it is great fun and addictive :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadScientist_01 Posted February 5, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 5, 2013 On a similar subject, anyone know of a set location for a game of cribbage? Or do I have to just wander the halls challenging people at random? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oca Posted February 5, 2013 #9 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Rummikub is also one of the games provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babine Posted February 6, 2013 #11 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi there. In January, I noticed to my delight (your kids may enjoy this) the game of Risk. Also saw backgammon. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly3399 Posted February 6, 2013 Author #12 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Thank you everyone. I am looking forward to watching the ocean go by as we play. I will also pack a deck of cards and crib board just in case of that nasty virus as I hadn't thought of that. Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salacia Posted February 6, 2013 #13 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Kelly, speaking of games...the ping pong tables on Deck 12 in the Pavillion Pool area seem to be very popular (especially with teens). Hope you and your family have a wonderful voyage! -S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadScientist_01 Posted February 6, 2013 #14 Share Posted February 6, 2013 The Atlantic Room on deck 11 is used as a card room. Excellent - I now declare myself Cunard cribbage king and anyone who wishes to take the title from me can challenge at the above venue. If I'm not available feel free to play for the right to play me at a later date :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salacia Posted February 7, 2013 #16 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The Atlantic Room on deck 11 is used as a card room. Except when it's not. For example, last year on the World Voyage, it was a dedicated lounge for World Cruise passengers. Other uses of the Atlantic Room on voyages include Friends of Bill W meetings. bridge lessons...not sure if it's also a Wedding at Sea venue, but we certainly would not want the King of Cribbage to walk in, hoping for a game at an inopportune time :eek::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
