First Game: Space 1999. Ah the past! Wait ...the future ...no ...OK ...got it ...the past's vision of the future today! Basically this one was Chinese Checkers with the addition of a mad swirling vortex of interstellar galaxies spinning and whirling in the center of the board. Helena! Get my blaster! Not as entertaining as the TV show it's supposedly based on but still ...far from the worst game the gang has been subjected to. Professor Link showed us all how to land the Eagles. A successful choice for play, played successfully. I lost.
Second Game: Oh Nuts! So how appropraite is this for a game club? Four players grasp plastic walnuts from a tree trunk made of the same material and attempt to find colored

ithin all while fibbing to opponents about what they've got. Dumb? You betcha! Fun? Surprisingly so! Greg 'cracked' this one wide open leaving the rest of us to feel like 'shells' of ourselves! Dr. Kirby picked this '60's era gem up a gargage sale in the free box! Luck of the Squirrely! I lost again.

Third Game: How to succeed in business without really trying. Wow! At last a game of practical advice
for making it in the high powered world of Corporations!
Players work their way up through office levels to become the Chairman of the Bored. No ...wait ...B-O-A-R-D. This one was actually fun too, with many trips back to square one as each player stabbed and throttled the other in an attempt to reach the ultimate goal. The gamesters, not being total dopes, let the new guy win. Great play Dennis, We all hope it's not too lonely at the top! As for the bottom, yours truly managed to lose all three games. Hmm Got to work on my connivance! Positive reviews for this one all around.

Sensing the real bitterness here. Frustration, yes, frustration. And, perhaps, just a touch of despair. Game Night is all about the winning, true, how true. And about the drinking and snacking. And the general banter and posing for photos. But mostly about the generous swigs of victory. What game is so stupid or lame that the winning of it doesn't set the world aright? Game on Col. Blame, you will triumph yet. Perhaps with the luck of the Irish at "Lucky Charms".
