When we got to Kristy's house yesterday the grands were all enjoying a look at a catalogue entitled, 'Mind Ware'. This magazine/catalogue features many items that are enjoyed by kids. It is as if they were looking at a toy advertisement and trying to decide which would make the best present for Christmas. I remember pouring over such dream catalogues when I was young. It was fun but the reality seldom measured up to the wishes and dreams. 
James decided he really would like a kit to build a skyscraper which might reach as high as over eight feet. We had suggested a family Christmas gift and Kristy had suggested a great game, 'Ticket to Ride - Europe'. James thought his skyscraper would make a great family gift and began soliciting his four sisters to get their support. The answers from the sisters was unaminous, NO'S. His mom also voted NO and his grandparents voted NO. So his campaign resulted in a vote of 1 - yes to 6 - NO'S. So, the answer is NO.
I neglected to tell you that this skyscraper kit cost $299. That in itself make it easier to understand all the NO votes.
Later after dinner we taught the three oldest grands to play Pitch. They quickly caught on and we had a wonderful time visiting and laughing. See, Anne, how your fame spreads????
