Board Games

BEDA# 26

I am so cold. Two blankets on, I cranked up the air, and mug of hot chocolate, and I've got goosebumps. It's August dang it.

I've been thinking recently about how life has changed since I was a kid. When I was little it was mostly coloring, board games, and Super Smash Bros. on the Game Cube. We watched Cartoon Network, went to the park, and read every book in site. Now that I've gotten a bit older I spend most of my time online, watching season of television, and doing various work. I miss my childhood, especially board games. I'm thinking of starting Board Game Night with my friends. They are just so fun! I don't understand why we don't play them as much anymore.

Though tonight instead of spending time on the Internet (Okay, spent some time on YouTube) my friends Annaliese and Caitlyn came over and we played some games. First we played this dominoes game called Mexican Train. It's where all the dominos have a line across the middle with a different amount dots on each side, ranging from 0-12. One of the doubles sets is in the middle on a center console with slots for each player. Everyone gets seven other dominoes. If one of your dominoes has the same number of dots on one end as the one in the middle, you can put it down in your slot in the center. Then at your next turn you try to match up the ends of dominoes until you are out. It's really fun, but we had one game that lasted almost 45 mins. We all started going insane haha.

After that we played Apples to Apples. If you've never played it there are red cards with different people, places, and things on it like Rust, Berlin-1945, and Adam Sandler; every player gets seven of these. There are also green cards with adjectives on them. You pick one person to be the judge, who puts down a green card. Every other player picks one of the red cards they think best (or least) describes the green card and they place it in the middle. The judges then pick the card they like the best and the winner takes the green card. Whoever gets 4 green cards first wins. It is reaaally fun and your stomach will end up hurting from laughing so hard. It was a bit harder to play with three people so we had to change it up but it was incredibly fun.

Now it's time for me to either a) Watch more Big Bang Theory b) Go on Tumblr for a long time c) Sleep or d) Do the homework I've been neglecting all day. I think we all know what's not going to win out. See ya tomorrow :)
