We played the Indian version.
Were there snakes?
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
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!

I really need a job where I just read and play games all day.

Compassionately intolerant
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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
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.

Guillotine is good (and still available on Amazon, where it sits on my kid gift list). It is one of the few games I actually liked playing with my niece and nephew when they were younger (along with Rat-a-Tat-Cat, Triominos, and Yahtzee Jr.).

Nope, it's very popular at my comic book/game store, and I have bought several copies as gifts.
