Easter Weekend Games

We've had two days of socialising and games this weekend. It's been hard work.

On Saturday we went over to our friends' place. We started off with several games of Secret Hitler. 

For once I was a Liberal. In fact I was a Liberal in all three games. I still got to shoot someone, though. And that someone turned out to be Hitler.

Anyway, the Liberals won all three games. The Fascists just didn't seem to have what it took; too busy concentrating on getting re-elected in Australia I guess.

Anyway, we switched to Mysterium after that; a strange supernatural murder-mystery game that I'm sure I've written abut here before.

My medium, who would receive mysterious visions to guide her to a perpetrator, weapon and location plus, in this expanded version, a motive.

It's a cooperative ha,me, so everyone has to solve their mystery for a win. I did OK with mine. Others less well.

Although here we can see that people were not convinced about my choice of location - lots of negative votes. They were correct as well.

Anyway, we failed the first game.

We set up a second game, but I opted to take a break. However one of the other players had to go early, so I came back to the table and took over their position. 

We lost again.

After that we were all gamed out, and simply socialised for the rest of the evening.

On Sunday our son, daughter-in-law and grandson were supposed to visit, but illness meant that they had to cancel. So Maya in invited a couple of their friends over at the last minute (we had food needed eating). That gave us a chance to play more games.

We started with Quacks of Quedlinburg, which looks like a delicious and tasty treat if you set it out like this. Tastes like cardboard though.

Pandora had a look, but wasn't interested.

Anyway, newcomer Freya won the game.

We switched to Sushi Go party after that, which everyone enjoyed so much that we played three games.

And after we ate, it was time for The Cat Game, our perennial family-favourite, despite the fact that it's a terrible, terrible game.

It's Pictionary. with little cut-out cats that have to be included in the drawings. These are the only things I got pictures of.

My take on 'An American Werewolf In London' (or, as Maya guessed 'A Fantastic Werewolf In Paris')

And Catherine's take on 'Highlander'.

Sadly my awesome, full-colour take on the final scene from "Planet of the Apes' was lost to posterity. As was Freya's depiction of Kennedy being assassinated whilst riding on a giant roller-blade.

We played that game for hours. It was silly. And loud.

Anyway, this busy weekend has added three more games to my 52 Games project.

Game 33 - Secret Hitler

Game 34 - Mysterium

Game 35 - The Cat Game
