Ahh...charades is good if your guessing but my siblings can't play it. We know each other much too well. It's so bad that if a actor comes in and lays on the floor and two others kneel beside the first one...we know what the skit is. It's dreadful. :p
We obviously spend a great deal of time together.
That's a relief in our sib-vs.-sib society!!! *jabs finger into the air*
I like lots of games. :)
:lol: Yea-haw!
I love the game Apples to apples.
This evening my family and I played charades, it was so fun!
Oh yeah, I LOVE Apples to Apples, but we only have the kiddy version.
Apples to Apples is a good one! 'Sept I'm the only one who has the game. I got it for Christmas two or three years ago and we've only played it, say, thrice. My siblings start trodding on the cards and bending and ripping them, I freak out because it's my game, we end the session, and everyone either complains or is on such a adrenaline rush they go and take the house apart.
It's most interesting.
Anyone played the Mongolian Clapping Game? MCG? *will be surprised if anyone has*
Okay, that's really weird, Pip. We played Charades a few days ago and are planning to do it again!
Pit and Catch Phrase are really fun. 8)
I like playing Spoons. We usually play this at family gatherings. It can get nasty.
What is this Mongolian Clapping Game you speak of? (and have spoken of, and will speak of)
Apples to Apples is fun when everyone is trying to be sarcastic instead of sensible. The people we play with, who own the game, always try for the latter. Then when I attempt snarkiness I always lose. Actually I always lose anyhow. Hmm.
Spoons is good. Nasty is good. ;)

A groundbreaking event occurred last week: I played Settlers of Catan (no, actually Canaan, but they're almost the same). At my dad and two brothers' insistence. They recruited my sister for it too, but she started listening to Elsie Dinsmore after the first turn. There aren't many things more dull than Elsie, but this... *shakes head*
If I tried playing Spoons with a bunch of people I actually KNEW instead of random strangers, they'd all have their heads knocked off. *is funny that way*
Clapping games are always fun, but I have never learned any. *is hacked off*
I only know one clapping game. Yes, what is this Mongolian Clapping Game? I am interested...
Spoons are fun. I really like that game, actually. (Have I said that already?)
The Mongolian Clapping Game. Well, players sit in a circle and start a beat (clap hands, slap thighs, clap hands, slap thighs) and everyone has a Sign (snake, mummy, hitchhiker, zombie, boxer, fish, cyber tooth tiger--Mongolians tend to just use animal signs but we've made up a few of our own :P ).
Loser starts (the only people with titles are the King and Loser--the King sits at the "head" of the circle and the Loser is on his left), let's say the loser's Sign is fish. He starts the beat and then it goes something like this.
Everyone hits their thighs, then well the rest clap Loser (fish) does his Sign, everyone hits their thighs, everyone claps well Loser does the Sign of another player (hitchhiker), everyone hits their thighs, Hitchhiker does his Sign well everyone else claps, everyone hits their thighs, Hitchhiker does the sign of another player...
It goes like that getting faster and faster until someone messes up and that person has to go take the Loser's spot and is now the Loser. If the King messes up than he becomes the Loser and the person on the King's right takes the King Sign and the King takes the person that was on his right's Sign.
Did that make any sense? There isn't really a goal or point to it, it's just fun. :D
Wow, sounds like a challenge! It's rather similar to the Prince of Paris game, too.
*googles Prince of Paris* Woah, scary. :P
The Mongolian Clapping Game isn't all that hard...
