Callooh! Callay!

Now chaperoning my seventh post-prom party. I know our area isn't unique but for those who may be unfamiliar... As an answer to teen drinking (and driving) at after prom parties, we have the official post-prom. Fund-raisers provide the money, and there's a huge event at the YMCA. There's prizes (inc...

I was just about to post that.

Also, I learned to solve a Rubik's cube! It's something I've always wanted to do, and it turns out it's not that tough. I've always been able to solve one side, plus the second row, and then if the wind was right... maybe the rest would fall into place. Maybe. Like 5% of the time. So I just Googled ...

I've been reading a lot more than usual this year. Or rather... I've been read at a lot.

Yesterday I did some math, and at this pace, I'm on track to read 105 books this year, and that feels pretty baller to me. So my goal is to break 100 in 2023. Fingers crossed.

Durian

Me too! I'll even adjudicate a round if Eli wants to get in.

Mine, Kyle, Phoebe

Phoebe, will you take all 4, or is this on me now?

Correct

I'm so sorry Mando. I love this game. Noah and I got to introduce it to his older brothers this weekend, and we played through three or four games. It was fantastic. I hope you get this sorted. It's worth it.

Enzo.

I bid 3.

Emma.

Card 1

You choose.

Neverwhere -- Neil Gaiman Apparently, this was Neil Gaiman's first actual novel, adapted from a TV series he wrote. Has also been a radio play. It's the story of Richard Mayhew, a Londoner who chooses to help a person in need and as a result, finds himself in London Below, a dark and gritty fairie-...

Correct. You start with all of your own stack.

I'm willing to let Kyle live or die on his own card.

Pass.

Oh damn! Was that the one where Brendan Fraser spent 25 years in a backyard nuclear bunker, but his dad only stocked it with Mountain Dew? I thought Alicia Silverstone was incredible in that.

Fuck. I walked right into that. My hat's off to you.

And already I have forgotten which card is my skull. I hope you know what you're doing, Phoebe.

I play card 2.

Grosse Pointe Save.

Not true. I've already screwed up twice, because I'm totally losing my mind. My only hope is to copy others.

I start with card 1.

This is why we can't play without a moderator. I suck.

Damn.

Assuming that yours is not a skull, I'll tell you that mine IS a skull.

Pass.

The Great Plains Game Fest is this weekend. It's a small Nebraska board-gaming event. Once you pay the cover charge, all the events are free. I'll give more detail later, but the highlight so far was Two Rooms and a Boom. I've read about it before, but never thought I'd get to play it. You start wit...

I bid 1.

Play card 3

Undeniable.

So it's on me...

Shit. I screwed up. I forgot I played my skull already. I will send a PM to Eli with my discard and new hand order.

I assumed it was poker style. I bid 3 so it goes back to Kyle then Phoebe etc. So if both of you pass again, then I get to draw 3.

But Eli can clarify.

I bid 3.

Except for the honesty/consistency portion. I can see myself switching up my card order a couple times and then forgetting which one was the skull, cuz I didn't write it down. And then I'd be afraid that in trying to recall which one it was, my "memory" could be colored by the current play...

Fancy morning!

It's to you, Phoebe. You wanna bid higher than 2 or pass?

I have two cards in play, while you and Kyle each have one.

I should have called that. If I were in your spot, it's exactly what I would have done.

I would buy you 12 houses.

I play card 1.

All the fanciest Dijon Levites!

Grade A Fancy Ketchup!

I will play card 4.

Fancy!
