Game On!


Wednesday, June 13, 2012

A week ago I posted an announcement headlined “Train your mind, hone your skills, challenge the librarian!” on the Plan of the Day about the board games available in the library. Players gradually came out of the wood work. The Scrabble challenges produced three awesome games so far. On chess and checkers, cadets mostly challenge each other. One afternoon a cadet created his own board with paper and markers so he could get simultaneous matches going.  Spectators cheered on but provided absolutely no help. Without any of my prompting, these games tend to take place during meal time or between classes. Other times, cadets go right back to work and study, especially since exams are now an imminent reality!
