Wacky fun!



What the hell kinda psycopath turns THAT into a board game?!?!?!?!?!

and who would buy it?



As a therapy tool for people who are having communication problems and mediated by a trained professional it has some merit. I wouldn't try it at home on my own though. "We have to communicate more" isn't the answer to every question.

As long as everybody involved is a fully consenting adult I don't see the harm. People get up to much worse in the name of fun.

I should imagine in a thereputic situation they have much more effective methods of communicating than a board game though.

ok, maybe i should change that to 'what the hell kind of psychotic mass markets that'

and as for those swinging parties, its not the swinging htat i objects to (though, personally, eurgh.) but the fact that you don't know them and its just icky.

i mean even on a one night stand theres a certain amount of attraction and intimacy involved, plus, you never know where they've been - what nasties they have.

I'll maintain my earlier stance.

Like I said, we ended up playing a card game instead. It was started as more of a spoof anyway and no one really took to it (duh!) so we found something MUCH more amusing and wholesome to do.
Well, as for one night stands and swing games... not really my style--AT ALL.


Wacky fun!

Games are fun.

Some people are rather resistant to communicatimg though. For them you have to whip out the gimmicks.

It's not as ominous as it sounds. It's a simple drinking game. Take 2-3 decks of cards and shuffle them together. spread them out in a circle face down. one person draws and puts their card in the middle. the next person does the same, low card drinks. You could do it with UNO cards too, the reverse would add an interesting dynamic, but I shudder at the thought of "drink four".

se, i prefer the basic drinking games.

The Buffy one for instance - watch one onf the shows - every time buffy slays a vamp, drink, every time girl scoobies slay, boys drink, everytime boy scoobies slay, girls drink, everytime buffy laments the single life, girls drink, so and so does something all drink, everytime Giles takes his glasses of and cleans them, down the whole lot.

tis fun.

which makes me think, maybe we should work out the firefly version - everytime Jayne mentions a weapon, drink, etc.

could be a mite amusing.
