This sounds pretty cool!
The buy in:
2 chips for a regular push-up
1 chip for an on the knees push-up or sit-up.

You can buy as many or as few chips as you want. ( Of course these exercises are judged by the other players) You can also stop between hands to add to you chip total. The exercise gives the chips a value, not easily earned. Great for playing with our older (11&13) grandsons. No money involved.

Some of our favorites are Rummikub, Farkle, and this handmade board game from last Christmas.

Now might be a good time to pick up some more games or other stuff from Amazon. They are having free shipping, no minimum for a limited time.

Lately we've been playing a lot of Spot It!. So easy, yet as times so hard. Takes little time, fast paced, 5 ways to play, inexpensive, many versions available, good for any age, 2-8 players. We like it so much we bought different versions; Holiday, Original, English (3 different ways to match), Freeze (3 more ways to play included).
Have also started playing Blokus.

Yep, love board and card games. It is just me and hubby and we love Scrabble the most. Also like Go Sushi and the game of Life (it still holds up after all these years). Yahtzee and cribbage and backgammon and Sorry are also favorites.

Ardnas, I’m definitely going to look into Upwords and Spot It.
