What game I would most like to play is "ring taw" because you get to play with marbles unlike the other games.

The game I would not like to play would be "snail" because I hate taking turns.

Games of Young America

The game that I would want to play the most would be Marbles because I have played it before. But, the game that I wouldn't want to play would be snail because it looks and sounds kind of boring.

After reading "Games of Young America", I found that I would most likely want to learn how to play "Ring Taw." This is the game I would also be the most thrilled to play. I chose this game because its not that I don't like Snail or Eleven Men's Morris but Eleven Men's Morris confused me and Snail seemed kind of boring because it's just moving what you rolled and it would be so out played after the first time I play it. Then when I read "Ring Taw," I thought it sounded a lot more fun. I knew if I actually had to play it it wouldn't get out played after the first game and it didn't confuse me.

One game I would like to learn more about is ''Snail'' because it sounds fun,and I have never have played it before. One of the games that I wouldn't like to play was ''Eleven Men's Morris'' because
it looks like it would take a while,and it also looks a little more for adults. #9

A game I would like to learn to play is marbles because it seems like a fun game to learn.
The game I would not like to learn is snail because that game looks a little harder to play, and it is a little confusing to play.

The game I would want to play the most after reading "Games of Young America" I would want to play marbles because it looks like a fun game to play and easy to set up, the game I would want to play the least after reading "Games of Young America" would be Eleven Men's Morris because it looks like a boring game.

The game that I would like to learn how to play is the Marbles, or "Ring Taw", because all you need is 11 marbles and you only need to make to circles. Also you get to keep the marbles you win and you get to nock off other people's marbles. That is why I would like to learn how to play that game.

The game I would not like to learn how to play is Snail, because it will take to long to play the board and you have to make little circles and there are lots of them. Also you might make the playing board good and they are to close together. That is that is why I don't want to learn that game.

Out of the chosen games of Games of Young America, I would most want to play snail. This is because it is a fun game that is understandable and multiple playered. The one I dislike the most is the one similar to tic-tac-toe because it was not easy to understand and it did not sound fun.

The game I would like to play is marbles because it is fun and probably the easiest, unlike snail.Snail I would say is the hardest because of setting up the game board, and following all of those rules, like "A player cannot move if he gets higher than the remaining spaces" Marbles is better because the rules are easy to follow.
