365 Day 355

A perfect end to my evening: Tea and a game with friends. Yes, this is my happy place.

365 Day 336

It may be outdated with cards like diskette, Watergate  and blockbuster, but it was still a lot of fun to play with everyone.

And, I won't be soon forgetting the failed Taboo card or Oral Messages.

365 Day 259

Game night done right. Lots of choices.

365 Day 137

Cliff was so excited when he found out there was finally going to be a Diablo 3 so we pre-ordered it for him.

Coffee Geek

Too much coffee and a new to me video game. I had to play until I didn't suck... 

or at least until I didn't suck so much  

365 Day 56

Friday Night Date: 

At home, playing computer games together into the wee hours of the morning. 

4am is a perfectly respectable bed time...

Quelf

Holidays are over and we finally got together for a family game night, complete with a new game: Quelf. What a random, crazy game. It was ridiculously silly but I have to admit I had a ton of fun. 

Simple idea- roll the dice to move, draw a card and follow directions. I assumed this game would require high amounts of alcohol to finish, and although I consumed more than I normally do, it is still very fun 100% sober. Following the directions really is the most difficult part since they contain things like wear a helmet for the remainder of the game and suck your thumb before saying a simple phase. There is no rhyme or reason, just craziness. 

The game actually took a pretty good amount of time with our gang so when the chitlens got tired they all cuddled together for a movie. We were all going strong up until the screen got busted out of a window. That wasn't part of the game, but it did seem to encourage the ending of the evening.

I'd have to say it was an awesome way to start off the new year of game nights. We all had more fun that we expected and because of my camera obsessive ways, we even get to go home with a consolation prize: a video. 

*if you don't know us the video is just weird. For family that knows these personalities (and can see past my newbie editing) this video is hilarious!
