Nerdy Games

Week 8 for Project 52: For Brian's birthday coming up, we decided to have a small get together of some gaming friends to have a game afternoon, instead of just a normal get together. Cuz that's boring! ^_^

While we don't play games like D&D, we do play unusual, and we like to say, "nerdy" games. Or, games that aren't in the mainstream. But are SO fun!

One couple canceled on us, but that's okay. We still had lots of fun! (And more food to go around, hah!)

P52: Week 8 - Game Day  

So here's the group we had, getting reading to play Red Dragon Inn. It's a "drinking game", but all in character, and the drinks aren't real. Basically, you're characters that have just returned from your adventure to the local tavern to drink away your loot. Your goals it to either outdrink your fellow gamers, or make them run out of money. It's so fun! ^_^

Before this, we also played a game of Tsuro. We'd only seen this played on Tabletop, but we rented it from a local game shop to try out. Not fun. Quick and easy to learn.

We would have liked to have played another one, but Red Dragon Inn took longer because we had a few new people playing, AND we incorporated the gambling expansion pack (which was new to all of us). But still, overall we had a lot of fun. It's nice to be able to play with people who have similar game interests, but also those who are willing to learn. (For New Year's Eve, we went to someone house to also have a game night, and we took Zombie Dice over, and while most people were a little skeptical, everyone loved the game, so ... there. Ya never know until you try.)

Other games in our library include:
Guillotine
Ninja Burger
Munchkin
Quelf
Sequence

And some standards, with twists:
Disney Monopoly
Lord of the Rings Risk, Monopoly, and Trivial Pursuit
Harry Potter Uno

And, regulars:
Phase 10
Clue
Risk

And more that I can't remember right now.

How about you? Do you have any fun, quirky games you play? Or would recommend?

For those with a gift for BS, Malarky is a fun game--like Balderdash, but with questions instead of word definitions.

We have SO MANY versions of Trivial Pursuit, though lately we've been loving the Classic Rock edition.

And we have Doctor Who Monopoly but we haven't even opened the box yet. (I got it for my birthday or Christmas or something.)

For card games: Gloom. And an Uno deck somewhere . . . might even be UT Longhorn Uno . . .

We used to enjoy Scene It but the clips got repetitive really fast.
