Game-Playing Weekend

First, it was dominoes, by himself. "I'm trying to demonstrate a nuclear chain reaction, but I can't get these dominoes to work. I need different dominoes."

Then, he played Quoridor (a strategy game) with Andrew. He whipped Andrew several times. One time, he took pity on his big brother. They were each 1 step away from winning, and it was Cameron's turn. He said, "I'll just do this , and you can win." It was uncharacteristically empathetic of him - though I don't think Andrew was as amused as me.

Then, he played Battleship with Conor, but it ended in a fight.

Finally, he played Yahtzee with his dad. He's never played before. Michael asked him, "What is the highest number you could get with 5 dice?" A moment's pause, and Cameron says, "Well, 6 times 6 is 36, so let's see. . . 30! It would be 30!" Pretty quick math strategy. . .
