In my free time, I like to play video games. PopCap just came out with a new edition to a game I've been playing for years, Zuma, called Zuma's Revenge.

I enjoyed the game Jewel Quest Solitaire so much that I ended up purchasing it - it's a bunch of fun and totally frustrating at times! It too has that Central/South American feeling but some of the cards have Tikis on them and some of the backgrounds have a Tiki flavor. I mostly just like the game format - a card game, which, if you win, you move on to the second component of the game - a jewel quest - where you have to change all the jewel boxes to gold before you can TOTALLY win the game. I just spent the last 3 months trying to win one hand! Yeah, I'm outta work too.
