People play games to relax?

Scrabble and King's in the Corner are pretty chill. I also find playing magic very relaxing, while Redemption I usually don't play when I feel like chilling, it's more for the challenge than unwinding.

Same reason I play yugioh/c-23. Its simplicity doesn't make me really think as much as redemption.

ERS is teh pwn.

Solitare and Freecell are good for relaxing. As is the game where you try to read the message on the inside of your eyelids, thats REALLY relaxing.

Audiosurf can be either relaxing or very tense depending on the song you run through it.

I hate ERS passionately.

Why so?


The Aussies play the game alot.......I was in Fiji (where most of the tourists are Aussie). Every where I went the was being played. I was afraid to slap in any of ther games......I was one of the only Americans there. 0_o

Solitare has to be the most boring game ever conceived.

I find Hearts and Minesweeper relaxing.
Minesweeper?  I thought no one else in the world played that? :)

So ERS is not strategic at all, and it's sometimes painful.  But it's fun.  I have found that most people either hate that game, or love it.

Title: Re: Relaxing Games
Post by: TheKarazyvicePresidentRR on September 12, 2008, 04:51:25 PM
You can do that. It wouldn't be advised because of us all being very good at redemption, deck building, and weird ideas for decks.
Title: Re: Relaxing Games
Post by: New Raven BR on September 12, 2008, 04:53:12 PM
does MTG glorify God? NO!
does redemption glorify God? YES!
the whole point is if your gonna play something, don't play mtg or yugioh cause they don't glorify God

Does you flaming MTG glorify God? NO!
Does starting flame wars over pieces of card stock glorify God? No!
Does what you watch on youtube Glorify God? No!
