Creative, inexpensive date ideas
There’s always a day when we want to spend time with a special someone or significant other, but we don’t feel like leaving the house or getting dressed appropriately. So what is there to do in the confines of a home? In addition to watching a movie or playing cards there are all kinds of board games – what about a game marathon?
Couples can up the fun and challenge by deciding to make a bet or reward that will add to the fun on the game marathon. Note of caution: This is not the best idea for overly competitive people. Here are the terms of the marathon: Each game has to be based on a point system. The points are all tallied at the end of the marathon (no calculating ahead of time) and the overall winner has to do the competitor’s bidding, which was decided on before the games began. It can be a challenge to get out of a hated chore, earn a massage, or a monetary reward – think any- and everything between. Just make sure it’s high stakes, fun. Also, one last rule, choose games that are challenging for both individuals or games one or the other is strongest at.
There are a couple of FAO Schwarz deals that don’t expire until the end of the year and you can get free shipping on everything. At that online retailer you can shop by category, age or brand. There is sections for only adult games and classic games, and that sounds like the perfect place to start for the couple-only game marathon.
