  • Have to agree with the other posters on this one...I think I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon than sit in on evenings playing some weird card game.

    In fairness, if it was important to my bf I'd at least give it a go (just the once so I could say from experience that it was terrible)

    Dematrus, listen if Jamespir said this is boring you aint gonna convince the other half it is no matter how you phrase it,

    I suggest you take the advice of all the above posts, perhaps a bit of role play with the missus, a nice home cooked meal and the likes, seriously ditch you game idea as it is pants !

    She's not interested. Give up on the card game already.

    What sort of things does she enjoy, and I mean as in things she liked that you didn't introduce her too? It sounds like your trying to get her into your hobbies. Why not spend time on things that interest her.

    You'll find loads of guys in their 30's and 40's that send huge chunks of free time on games. Only a handful that seem as narrow focused as this chap right enough!
