Heehee. “Three sheep give me a wood.” Is there any other reason to play that game?

Thanks, MGK!

And the one time I played Settlers, at a conference thing, all I got was wood. Only wood. By the end of that weekend I was the Lumber Baron.

>>“Fuck You” could also be applied to Risk, and Monopoly.

You obviously never played Diplomacy if you think Risk or Monopoly come even close to ‘Fuck You’ territory.

Our university game group had a semester long Diplomacy game running every semester, where turns were done in one week increments and you had the whole week to find the other players and negotiate with them on campus. Just being seen in the presence of another player over the week could result in diplomatic clusterfucks as everybody suspected you were building an alliance with them.

I love these, especially Agricola and Penguins are Assholes. Fuck, but that game is hard.

And the Catan game is nothing. We played Bang! once and it completely devolved into “stop banging me” and, “Hey Scott, I’m totally banging your wife” and “we’re all having one big gangbang”. It was exactly as mature as you’re picturing.

“I have never met someone who liked that game who didn’t take it way, way too seriously.”

I doubt there’s a single game my group could ever take totally seriously. With Settlers it’s pretty much sheep jokes all the way down.

MGK? There’s a car full of black family right there on the cover of “White”…

For shame! They have names, you know! They are Henry, Junetta, LaMar and Moesha Token!

Also note that the only white people on the box looking and smiling at them are the ones waving at them as they drive away.

Eli: Yeah, that’s pretty much been my experience with Wizards too. >.<

You know, as much as I like the title, “Penguins Are Assholes”, I really think you could have left in “Hey! That’s My Fish!” and people would still have believed you’d photoshopped in a title.
