Septic September?

Game One: Battle Cry!

Hoo-hah! It's the War Betwixt the States, suh! A battle of brains to be certain with Dr Kirby trying his dangdest to vanquish them damn Yankees. Here at left we see the son of the South sotted with grape and agog at the might of the industrial North. Let no one say that he was afeared to strike the first whollop. His troops moved without mercy into the heartland of Lincoln loyalists and kicked keester.

At the right we see General Grant smirking at Bob E. Lee's attempts to stave off the Blue Belly tidal wave. The South soon, facing setback after setback and in spite of a gallant try at historical rewrite, was on the ropes before it knew what had happened.

At left we can see the intensity of the brawl as Lee valiantly wards off the oncoming Yankee doom. Note the blood red dice ominously perched in the back ground. The South fell again but holds dear hopes of rising anon. All in all a great game. Several of the members recalled playing this one as kids. Highly recommended. One of a series of games along with "Skirmish", Hit the Beach", "Broadside" and "Dogfight". Winners all!

Game Two: Chop Suey:

A hidden classic from 1967. Players attempt to grasp chunks of "suey" with plastic chopsticks from a wind up rotating bowl. Irrepressible mirth ensued as well as appetite stimulation. At left Dr Kirby tries to sate his hunger. Hold on Doc! That's the game you're about to digest! Good for a fifteen minute interlude and fine for a once round, this game hardly left any hungry for more. I won! This makes this a Chop Suey memorable... at least for me!

Third Game: Monad!

Well ...words fail. I mean, what can be said about this compact powerhouse from the 3M game mob. The crew decided to let the picture at right tell it's thousand word tale and spare everyone tedious verbiage on the merits of this dynamic knockout! Dr Kirby was declared the absolute winner of Monad! Kudos K!

Game Final and Fourth:Take Twelve.

You take fourteen die and what do you get? Another game over and weeping I'll bet. But seriously ...for a rollin' bones offering this was entertaining. Two die are rolled and number combinations are matched with the other 12 numerically marked dice. When number matches can no longer be made the players turn is over. Numbers shaken and taken are added up. After four rounds a grand total is tallied and winner declared. I kept score and guess who won? Give up? Me! Haw! By 3 points! Double Haw! The lesson for all is make sure you know who's doing the accounting! Thumbs up for this deceptively simple cube-a-thon!
