I played this game with my grandmother before she passed away from cancer. She didn't even know how to boot up a computer without help, but she still utterly destroyed my best scores at this game, along with Dr. Mario and Bookworm.
No matter how hard I tried to beat her at Zuma, she was always victorious; even when on chemo in a hospital bed. I sucked at this annoying game then and I suck at it now.
But it reminds me of her.
