Regards, Kareni Yes, and no. She plays Mahjong and various card games with a group of ladies all in their 80s and 90s many week days. Often they will also have an impromptu game afternoon also where they bring their own games to try something new in addition to their scheduled games. This woman is a widow, and spends a lot of time by herself as well, and needs mental stimulation to be happy. She plays a wide variety of board games, and can learn new ones. Her mental calculations are still very sharp (like, she will win at poker because she can mentally count cards), but her ability to read and follow directions that are complicated is starting to slip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
