After getting a few people saying they’d play Clue with me and our attempt at setting up a Risk game, I decided to propose a formal challenge. I would like to have 12 people in this but 6 would also work, nothing in between. The idea would be to put aside an afternoon / night and compete in 3 different, 6 person, board games. Points would be awarded for places and like the strong man competition, the winner would be the one with the most points. If we had 12 people, the winner from each group would go 1v1 in a 5 game Rock-Paper-Scissor to crown the ultimate champion. I was thinking a 20 dollar entry fee would be reasonable and we’d split the cash 75 / 25 amongst the winners from the group. The games would be as follows:
2,4,6,8,10,12 for Risk and Trivial Pursuit. 5 for the winner of clue, 2 if you don’t get a chance to guess and 0 for the wrong guess. I’d have to think about it and see if anything was more fair. If you’d be interested in joining this affair, I’d provide the beer and setting, you provide the entertainment. Leave a comment and we’ll get an email chain started.
I am interested in giving away my money in this fashion.
There’s the spirit. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say no matter who plays, the playing field should be pretty equal.
Include chutes and ladders and I will play
I clearly need to check your blog more often while I’m here if two others beat me to the punch. I’m in.
If i can get off work I am in
Chess needs to be on this list…
I really need to have an open house and teach my family members some real BoardGames. How about:
Modern art (for Brookes): http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/118/modern-art
Bang! (A good beer and pretzels game): http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3955/bang
At least jump to target and pick up a copy of Ticket to Ride: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/9209/ticket-to-ride
I can half understand Risk and TP, but Clue? Really? You young folks and your video games, you didn’t learn about BoardGames! 😉 Now excuse me, I need to play Guild Wars 2.
