Our first family game night in a long time, a great counterpoint to cleaning out closets and watching Olympics.
Magic Labyrinth--a wonderful, award-winning memory game where you move your piece through an invisible course with obstacles to your reaching the magic sign before your opponents.
Slap Rat--a game Bud learned at Lego camp, played with a deck of cards equally divided and players turn over cards trying to collect as many as possible. Face cards require another face card from opponents and you can slap "sandwiches" (A-B-A) or doubles. You kinda have to play to get it. I googled it to find concise rules but only see a computer game, Egyptian Rat Slap.
Phineas and Ferb card game--okay, I can't even explain this one--you're trading characters, issuing challenges (like staring contests, rock-paper-scissors), winning points through scenes (completed by collecting characters in the scenes). And we didn't even play with the complications of Perry and Doof yet.
"Why would they build factories and tear up the grass"
ReplyDeleteI think this was a case of showing that at the start of the Industrial Revolution the factories had to go on green fields,alternatively he was watching the post industrial era when indeed the grass was rolled back to make way for the next part of the show.
To me the most amazing thing was that all these people must have rehearsed in numerous venues around the country and it seemed to go so well.
No doubt some of it was incomprehensible to many people but overall it was well done and such a contrast to the Chinese effort in 2008.
