This saturday we slept in and went grocery shopping at noon.
In the afternoon we were invited to boardgaming, where we played a lot of interesting and funny games.
We started with Captain Sonar a cooperative team version of battleships. At first it was a bit confusing, but on our second go we made it work and it was quite an exciting duel.
Then we played both Codename: Pictures and Codenames, so we could compare the two versions of the game. I still like the original better, but the pictures one is of course better in the context of not being tied to a specific language.
Then we played a card game called Fuji Flash. The goal is to get rid of all your cards on your hand, but in order to do so you have to play one card. If another player plays a higher card your card is lost and you have to redraw another cards to replace it.
Next up was Telestrations which is a very funny game. You have to draw things and give your drawing to the next player, who in turn must write down what that could be and the next player has to draw that again. This continues until every player has participated. And in the end you compare the original thing with the one that it ended up with. So for example you start with lepard and end up with cat-house.
After that we blew up kittens in Exploding Kittens. It's an ok game, but not so much my kind of game.
Then we added a hint of horror as we tried once more to solve the Betrayal at House on the Hill - this time it was an insane murdered running around the house. Well it was a relative of mine and I guess he just wanted to play a bit.
The conclusion of the evening was Time's Up Academy, which is an interesting combination of Activity and general knowledge. It's played over three rounds. The first round is about getting to know the things on the cards. One player tries to describe the thing and the other players from that team need to name it. In the second round another player tried the same, but only using one word per card. And in the final round yet another player does the same without any words. The good thing is that you know the things that are on the cards, if you remember them from the first round, as nothing new is added between rounds. It was a blast and we all laughed very hard.
