When I got down to the last two, I tried to imagine which would be yellow and which would be purple so I could get the yellow last. I was wrong

Same as Kay, but I didn’t want yellow last, I wanted purple not last.

Agree with Jay and Kay on purple, but - as with one of the purples - with one of the blues I was sure I knew what that group was.

► Show Spoiler

From playing those games with my wife when the kids were young and eventually with the kids as they grew up.

► Show Spoiler

Ironically, sweet wife got purple 3rd. She recognized "May I" as a game, but somehow forgot the full name.

I actually did not see the purples until the reveal. I had Mother May I and Duck Duck Goose as games instead.
