Had a great get-together yesterday, a bit over a dozen people, usual array of games (e.g., Betrayal at House on the Hill, Forbidden Island)<\/i> …<\/p>\n

… except for two new ones:<\/p>\n

Evolution<\/i><\/b> — Create new species! Give them attributes that help them feed better, breed easier, defend themselves well … or predate on other creatures more easily! Grow their population (but don’t exceed the food supply)! Grow their body size (or else they can be eaten more easily)!<\/p>\n

Good game, pretty easy to learn and play, but with a lot of different strategies that can be pursued. Even (vaguely) educational as an example of how natural selection can work. We’ll definitely be pulling this one out again.<\/p>\n

Imaginiff<\/i><\/b> — Classic party snark game game — “If Fred were a tree, what kind of tree would he be” — where you advance by guessing aligned with the majority. Most of the amusement is answering about others around the table (or, if you’re short of players, people who aren’t there).<\/p>\n

I prefer “True Colors” for this sort of thing, but it was amusing nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Good times, as I said. Probably won’t get together again until after Marching Band season, but looking forward to it.<\/p>\n
