Game Night

[terrycloth]

Tom apparently has a regular board game night on Tuesdays, and today I got invited because several of the regulars didn't show up. Everyone else drank lots and lots of alcohol; I passed on that, although I had some pringles and girl scout cookies.

The games we played were:

• Citadel, which I hated, although I came in second.


• Bang, which was really boring. I was the sheriff, and the guy playing the renegade didn't realize that if *he* attacked the sheriff he would lose because the bandits would quickly win. Especially if two of them were drawing four cards a round.


• Killer Bunnies, which was intensely frustrating, because no one knew the rules so we had to argue about them a lot. Bang had that same problem, since it tried to use a complicated system of symbols instead of writing out the effects of the cards... Bunnies didn't do that, but the way you played cards was really odd. I lost badly, but *not* because I screwed up and accidentally blew up my own bunnies -- I lost because Ed happened to buy the lucky winning carrot on the second turn of the game.

Of all of them, the one I'd most like to play again is probably Killer Bunnies, then Citadel, then Bang. But none of them rank among the games I'd ever like to play again. q:3

Also, Tom's 'other friends' were picking on me all night. Not in game -- I was mostly left alone in game. I mean they were teasing and insulting and patronizing me constantly, egged on by Tom who was trying to look cool to them or something. Flashback to junior high!
