This year was a different New Year from me and my family. My brother couldn’t join me since he was at home with injured leg (“cyborg-leg” as he calls it now). And his girlfriend worked. The kids where at my home and we had a lot of fun today. Not that they played video games, we played a card-game. I, my parents and them. The game was called “In the lake”, which means everyone have seven cards and the rest of the cards are the “lake” (upside down and mixed). Then you ask by clockwise: “Do you have any kings?” And if you have, then you need to give them. If not, just say “In the lake”. The thing is that you need to collect as many pairs as possible. Doing so when all cards in the lake are running out (and in the hand), then you have won. This game is typical Swedish game that both children and adults can play.

We play this game in the US too but we call it "Go FIsh". We usually play with a special deck of cards that use different sea creatures to match but that's really just because it was easier for my nieces to learn when it was the sea creatures versus all the cards in the deck. I've been playing it with each of them since they were about 3. They're now 11 and 8 and still love it.
