Game Night Is Good for You

Sure, everybody knows that Game Night makes you smarter and better looking. But did you know that that, due to the complex nutritional value of the refreshments consumed during an evening's hard play, it is also good for you? And it keeps you regular. I shit you not. Let's take a moment to review the essentials of the monthly Game Night Diet. First, of course, a balanced supper at the tavern conveniently located right next to our undisclosed location.

Then it's off to the Game Castle where the real feast awaits. All the game night food groups: wasabi, peanut, chocolate, cheez & bourbon. But, wait! Something is missing.


That's right Colonel. We forgot the vino and the Jim Beam. The game kings are actually divided into fiercely rival political camps: the wine party (known for some unknown reason as "The Grumps") and the whiskey party ("The Bumps"). Not to give anything important away but the Bumps will be winning all actual contests this night, fortified as they are by the special treat of smooth, 100 proof, Snob Creek.


We open the nights gaming with "Battle Cry". This war between the states will be fought with a Bump general staff for the North and a Grump one for the South. Oh, oh. Looks bad for the Rebs as the Army of the Potomac marches unopposed into Virginia.


Victory is clenched as the last Confederate resistance is cleaned out of the Chicago brothels. "Gen. Grant" is shown here smoking some sort of cheese cigar. ???



Appropriate, if not politically correct.





The Colonel demonstrates the correct use of chopsticks as he pinches out a narrow win.



Do I get this one? Not in the least. Perhaps the Doctor can explain once he's polished off that bottle.



Last call. Some kind of cheesy dice game. Time for the kings to wrap it up for September and sleep it off knowing full well that their cardio and other vital systems are safe for another month.
