Loner Games ~ When You Want To Be Alone (Plus Bonus Find!)

Having one of those throwback moments in time.  In my family, there were 7 boys and 2 girls. That's 9 kids. When I was 5 years old, my oldest brother got married and moved into his own home. That meant that there were now just 8 of us. 8 was enough! 

What was it like? Let's just say that sometimes it was fun having a lot of siblings and sometimes … I just wanted to be alone!  During my ME TIME moments, there were 2 loner games that I liked to play. They required limited brain power and didn't make any noise.  I'm sure my mother appreciated these games too.  ☺


One was Connect the Dots and the other was Solitaire (the game with cards).

• Do you have a loner game or games that you could play all by yourself to entertain yourself and enjoy a quiet moment?

BONUS FIND! 
In searching for links and images to prepare this quick and fun post, came across a cool photo of a solitaire game that I have never played.

• Have you ever played the solitaire game with marbles?
• Do you have a game set?
• In this digital age, a marble solitaire game makes for a unique gift?  Ya think?

In case you don't know how I looked up the rules. Enjoy!
