Tonight we had seven people for game night (Beth and Brian, Burr and Natalie, Matt L and us). We started with a favorite of Burr's- Fluxx, a game with constantly changing rules and goals. The first round went quickly, with Burr grabbing the win, while the second bogged down with lots of rules and many keepers on the board. Finally Matt won with the 10 cards in hand goal, picking up on the strategy of keeping your turn going as long as possible. By then it was time for something new.

Since Beth was going to Korea for a year, we let her pick, and she chose Cranium, the coffee house trivia/charades/pictionary hybrid. We split up into two teams of guys vs girls. Guys liked the datahead and word worm category, while girls choose the performer and creative cat, however we all liked drawing blind and playing with clay. It was a close battle all the way, but the guys were always on the inside track and the guys won in the end. We followed the game by several free rounds of drawing, humming, and performing, as this was the most fun part of the game.

Our last game was one Mark found on the internet called Werewolf, using a standard deck of cards to determine roles. Players are either werewolves or plain villagers, with both sides wanting to eliminate the other, however no one knows who the werewolves are. As the game progresses, people get killed at night, then everyone lynches someone during the day, until one side wins. With only 7 people, we let there be one werewolf. Mark started as the Moderator (since he knew what was going on), and Burr turned up as the first werewolf. He sucessfully made it the whole game without being lynched. For the next round, Burr was the moderator and Beth was the werewolf, but she was lynched in the second round. The third time, Natalie was the werewolf, and she was lynched on the first round, acting mighty suspicious. The game was very well received and we will probably play it again when there's more people- using 2 werewolfs it should be very interesting.
