Play some games with Google

Google is doing their part to help us deal with our collective boredom with their 'Stay and Play at Home' campaign. This means dusting off some of their more popular Google Doodles to entertain us all while we shelter in place.

Google Doodles are modifications of the Google logo that commemorate a certain event or person. Every once in a while these Doodles feature games... which is the highlight of this campaign.

Yesterday, being Cinco de Mayo, Google showcased the Mexican card game Loteria. What's great about this game is that you can play alone, or send the link to a friend to play together!

The link to play Loteria is listed below. Give it a try, then once you get good challenge a friend. Here's the link to play: https://www.google.com/doodles/celebrating-loteria

Here are some of my other favourite Google Doodles:

• Play Cricket with (of course) crickets: www.google.com/doodles/icc-champions-trophy-2017-begins

• This Halloween game is super addictive. Best played on a touch screen device... you've got to move quick as the game progresses! https://www.google.com/doodles/halloween-2016

• And how about trying your hand at the Rubik's Cube? This Google Doodle will have you occupied for hours (days?) trying to remember how to solve that dang thing. Again, for easiest navigation try it on a touch screen device. If you are on a computer be sure to study the keyboard shortcuts prior to playing. https://www.google.com/doodles/rubiks-cube
