My dear son Andrew is rather obsessed with the game Yahtzee. Early in the morning or late at night, I hear the roll of the dice as he flies through his games. Bryan recently gathered up all his score cards and counted them, and he’s played over 200 games in the last months.
As far as a game obsession, Yahtzee is great. He’s getting so fast at adding up the dice…I’ll admit it…he’s faster than me:)
Yesterday for the first time, he totaled up the columns of numbers in his head (61 on the top, so no bonus). Up until now, he’s relied on an adult or his cash register calculator to find his totals. I think it’s safe to say that this boy has Bryan/LuAnn’s mind for numbers:)
Good thing this game can be played solitaire!
I have an ongoing urge to enter all his scores into Excel so I can graph his results. Curious what kind of curve we’d see. However, the urge to do this is countered by my urge to do things that are useful/beautiful/productive. If anyone wants to do some data entry, I’ve got the sheets!
And feel free to offer to play a game with Andrew Yahtzee Dotzour.
