Carcassonne is my favourite of all the games, so I will keep playing the
games I have but the others I will start to restrict.

I have to agree it's nothing special

happened.

For anyone who is interested, we discovered that the iPad and iPhone

I thought you had given up on Wordfeud and Hanging. Or was it just a
rest?
I don't play Carcassonne any more as I'm useless at it.
Words is still my favourite though Friendle has a good variety.

I noticed that you resigned your game of Words with me. I'll not invite
you to any more for the moment as you seem to have a backlog, though
feel free to invite me when you get past your hiatus...

I'll invite you if you want, but you're far too good at Connect 4 and
Othello for me!
I've only just started playing Backgammon so am still getting used to it.
