Melvin loved playing a few games. He & the grandchildren got quite a kick from Connect Four.
He was always up for a quick game of Rook......
Dominos brought out what can only be described as a passion, as he would get an evil glint in his eye while "rattling them bones."
But the game that he may have enjoyed most was Acquire. I had never even heard of this game before being introduced to it in the Rhodes family. Melvin was a master, an won almost every time. Even when you were certain that you had finally succeeded, that you had beat him, he still pulled it out by a few dollars. And he loved it. He didn't gloat, but it was obvious that he never had any doubt. We haven't played at Casa Rhodes since he died. It will be very strange when we finally do.
