Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
...Buh? I've never heard of this before; we always played that when you made a suggestion, it went around the board until someone disproved it. If the rules were changed, it happened a long time ago, because our copy was from the 70s if not earlier.
A lot of our games were old, but I don't know if that one was. But we never played with house rules like "Free Parking", so I don't think we would have played that way if it hadn't been in the rules.
Ha ha ha.
I looked it up on BGG, and the board and everything didn't look familiar.
Until I hit the board that DID look familiar. We played the Indian version.
We played the Indian version.
Were there snakes?
We clearly need to play some cribbage at a game night or F2F.
Next West Coast F2F will TOTALLY have a game corner in the hospitality suite.
I don't think anyone exported snakes. I can't remember the exports anymore, but we sure did play that game a lot. I remember the trucks with the little discs!
Note: I have cribbage.
I really need a job where I just read and play games all day.
My two favorite games include 'acey-doucey', a variation on backgammon that goes really quickly and, if you are my hapless ex-husband, can leave you owing 50k in imaginary dollars. Still hasn't paid me, I might add.
I also love a card game called Mao, which is basically the intelligent, argumentative person's crazy 8s. One crowd I played in would routinely have 20 minute debates about the nuances of rules. It was SO much fun. The truly hardcore newbies would learn the rules through observation. It's pretty rough.
Guillotine from Wizards of the Coast is another favorite, though I think it is out of print at the mo.
Harry Potter Clue? FUN!
I also went through a fiery mah jongg period. I've got a beautiful set I just don't use anymore.
The pieces were little trucks and you loaded little pucks into them, right?
Hee! Man, I loved that game.
Monopoly: I always begged so that they'd let me use both the dog and the wheelbarrow as my player piece. I propped the dogs legs up in the wheelbarrow so that it looked like the dog was pushing the wheelbarrow. I am awesome like that.
Severly cranky today. Everyone was annoying, but that might just be me.
