The Non-Computer Games Thread

I'd play strip Magic with my special someone, if...

1. I had a special someone

2. She played Magic

Give it time. :p

And jason - sounds like you need to get Cities and Knights, since you didn't mention "paper, cloth and coins" in there as well. After you've gotten used to Cities and Knights, the development cards seem really moronic. :D

strip twister would be well.... interesting.

I'm not sure if anyone has played this, because its an old game, but I like the game Situation 4. Its kind of hard to explain, but basically its a race to put a puzlle together.
 
I have a friend who claims that his favorite game is Crisco Twister.

I've never asked for details, and I'm pretty sure I don't want to know... :D
 
There are a few other games that are "word-oriented" and pretty good... the one that comes to mind is "Wordsters," where you get a set of three letters, like "ard," and try to make words that contain it, in that order but not necessarily contiguously. Like "aardvark" and "bard" and "flared."

Or something. Bad example, maybe. Anyway, it's a good game.

Bwearch, that's in pretty poor taste - at least use real butter! Or possibly olive oil, one would have to know the game to judge which would be appropriate...

A nice drinking game I learned from the Creative Anachronists is toblero. It involves a board like a 7x7 chessboard, two dice, and little cups the right size to be chess pieces - shot glass like. And booze, of course.

I forget the exact rules (of a drinking game, fancy that!) but the goal is to get a certain number of cups in a row, at which point you can empty them and your opponent has to refill them. So if you do well at the game, you get drunk on other people's wine.
 
Well, if I drank... that would sound like a good game. I guess us teetotalers could use Jolt or something.

Balderdash is OK, but there's not much to it if I recall correctly - just a mediocre dictionary and some pre-printed pads and pencils. If you have a big dictionary with obscure stuff in it, like a multi-volume OED, just borrow someone's Balderdash set for ten minutes or so to figure out the rules, and you're good to go. It's more fun with a better dictionary than theirs.

Yeah, Balderdash is basically someone making money off of the dictionary game. But, it can be more fun than it normally would be, as my friends and I play it. Besides the regular definitions everyone has to make up, on the back, we would put really sick and offensive definitions that the reader would have to read out loud. One of them one time took three people to finally read it fully. Everyone kept on laughing hysterically and not being able to finish. :)
