I think the MOST hilarious thing I have ever done is to try and teach some of my teammates to play Star Munchkin. Before we left Ben bought Star Munchkin, so after dinner we sat down to play, along with Bart...all veterans to the game. And then Josh, Alex and Brendan wanted to learn as well. So we were teaching them when Jeremy came in, looked intrigued, and requested to join the game. Then he mandated that all the team members join in. First of all it is a CONFUSING game! So we explained it. "You are a monster hunter. The goal is to be the first player to reach level 10. You go up levels if you defeat a monster. You fight a monster on your turn after you kick down a door and a monster appears. If you dont draw a monster or a trap on your turn you can either play a monster from your hand or loot the room (by drawing another card). You can defeat a monster if your level is higher than its. Your level is your actual level plus all your bonuses. Your level must be higher to defeat it." I think my personal highlight is hearing Jeremy angrily declare "I want to kick down a door!" But it was hilarious to try to explain this game to non-nerd types. Even as he was winning the game Josh was declaring "This game is wierd" and "I don't know what's going on."
Last night we stayed in Amarillo, Texas. After our long drive we had an epid game of munchkin, and then Brendan taught us how to play Mafia. The drive yesterday was very enjoyable. We had purchased as Itrip, so we could play our ipods. I feel like this trip is nonstop fun. People are always laughing. Its just the most enjoyable atmosphere to be in. Can't wait for another 8 hour drive today! (Just a little sarcastic).
Rock on Library-Nerd!! Your blog is awesome and freakin hilarious!!!! I think I would approach "Star Munchkin" the same way I approached Ratscrew. Also, were my eyes properly functioning when I read in one of your posts that you will be participating in fire management?
