December Doofism

Game the One-th: "Milk & Cheese"
Hardly a game. Merely a dice toss to amuse while the fourth arrivee was awaited. At right we see the winner, doubtful of his own prowess at this uncertain amusement. He was the first of the evening to sport the nights' mascot, Sammy Davis Jr., whose birthday anniversary it was. Oh Babe!
Game the Two-th: "Strategy"
This hot entrant was unique in that it only had 8 short rules. A fine vintage find from the 1940's no less. Had to play two rounds to get the hang of it ...barely! Here we have Dr K in full triumphant grimace melting Sammy with his glare of victory. The second round would end differently!


Left and below we see the field of combat lined with the pawns and Barons of battle.
Below the victors of round two. A much more intricate and deft play than round one. Sammy strikes a fine profile. All were agreed that this game had much more to offer and is an easy candidate for future replay.

Game the Third-th: "Enemy Chocolateer"
Willy Wonka eat your candy heart out. This Cheap Ass Game production was a sweet romp into a puzzling world of confection manufactory dominance. Below we see the sozzled winner holding Sam while the latter is fed his victory swill.



After that things got out of hand and the Sam had to be restrained from bottle hogging. (see below, left and right)











All and all a magical evening kicking off the month of Holiday seasoning! See you in the new year.
