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.
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.
Neither did we, though. I may have to call my mom tonight; this is gonna be one of those dumb things that bug me.
There are various cards whose rules aren't clear enough
That is an amazing understatement. Fun game, but NEVER play it with anyone who has rules lawyer tendencies.
I love Apples to Apples, especially when I do it improv Mad Libs style.
There are various cards whose rules aren't clear enough (do cards that trigger when they're "collected" trigger when you "collect" them from someone else's pile?) and there's controversy over how to rearrange the line "randomly" and...some other stuff.
Ah. The only game I've ever played that I felt really really needed to be playtested better is Killer Bunnies. But the WCNs loved it.
ETA: that is, World's Cutest Niece and Nephew
Cool, flea.
My idea of what is scary and biomom's idea are very different, so I try to be respectful. But he is 8, and I think if his dad okays it, then she will just have to suck it up. She thinks "Ghostbusters" is too scary, but doesn't have a problem with "Family Guy" which I think is kinda fucked up. I do NOT think FG was appropo for a 6/7 yo.
I don't think we'll do him any favors by sheltering him too much.
So, Harry Potter #1 and #2 this summer, and original Star Wars, and Ghostbusters. YAY fun summer movies!
megan - I would have an issue if playing WITH my brother, but I did fine at this casual social event. I swear.
I'm not so sure Family Guy is appropriate for me.
and tense is not the same as scary. suspense is sometimes hard for kids ( ok I know adults that can't do suspenseful) but in a non-theater setting they should be fine
They had an epiphany and decided the Adolph Hitler card could work with any other card
Heh. We feel that way about Hellen Keller, usually.
there is no scoring to do
Then it's not a game!
Apples to Apples is one of the few party games I don't like, specifically because of its subjectivity.
I've never heard of it. But then, I've had problems with the subjectivity some people apply to Scrabble. Forget Balderdash. It's a minefield.
Then it's not a game!
I should have said adding. It is scored, but in a very basic way with pictures that little kids can handle better.
Forget Balderdash. It's a minefield.
Yeah, then you would not like Apples to Apples for sure.
