I went to a little Game Night at a friend of a friend's house. Her name is Lisa and I first met her through Dave when she came to Meghan, Annie and me's April party. Matt G and Andrew also know her. Anyway, she had stopped by the Service Desk while I was in the bathroom to invite Matt (and Annie) and Andrew to her house to play cards. Matt told me he wasn't going but asked if I wanted to and gave me Lisa's number to call her and ask if it was okay. Which is what I did when I got home from work.
I got to Lisa's around 8 or so. The people there (Pauline, Ben, and Brian) were finishing up dinner. Then we went upstairs to play cards. First we played King's Corner which is like multi-player solitare. Then my RA from freshman year who lived in the same apartment complex came over. Then we played Egyptian Rat Slap. We then played Gumpsh. It's where you try to get four of a kind and then signal to your partner that you have it and get them to call Gumpsh on you. Fun game, I kind of remembered it from the one time I played with Jenny, Shannon and Sari in 6th grade. By the time the game was over it was around 10:30 or so, I think. Neva had to go but then Andrew showed up. Lisa taught us all a new game, Maow. It's where the Gamemaster (Lisa in this case) dealt cards and you went around the circle putting down a card and the Gamemaster told you when you were breaking a rule. So basically, through observation and trial and error, you have to figure out the rules of the game. The object of the game is to get rid of all your cards. If you do then you become Gamemaster for the next game and get to add another rule.
For my reference, the basic rules are:
-written somewhere else. So ha!
After the first game of Maow, Ben, Brian and Pauline had to go. It was close to 12 at that time. Andrew and I stayed and we played some more Maow, until we had added 5 new rules. It was around 1:30 then. But we wanted to play some more. I had brought Taboo and Hoopla with me. We then played two games of Hoopla. After that, it was about 2:45 and I decided to head home.
I had a really really fun night. I'm glad Matt invited me and that Lisa said it was okay =)
