Update on the Kbox outing tmr: Meet at 1:30 pm, Cine.
Btw, anyone interested in playing board games? Not the usual monopoly/game of life type, but something more interesting and unique.
Here's a description of a novel game found in settler's cafe:
"Definitely designed for groups of non-gamers (not necessarily a bad thing), Apples to Apples consists only of two decks of cards: Things and Descriptions. Each turn, the current referee selects a Description and players try to pick, from the cards in their hands, the Things that best match that Description. The referee then chooses the Thing that appeals to him most and awards the card to the player who played it. The unusual combinations of Things and Descriptions are humorous to the extreme, and will quickly have the entire room in an uproar. Once someone has won a pre-determined number of cards, he's the winner."
Sounds fun right! Or if that's just not your type, how about this for action, murder and intrigue...
"From the back of the box: "The outlaws hunt the Sheriff. The Sheriff hunts the Outlaws. The Renegade plots secretly, ready to take one side or the other. Bullets fly. Who among the gunmen is a Deputy, ready to sacrifice himself for the Sheriff? And who is a merciless Outlaw, willing to kill him? If you want to find out, just draw (your cards)!".Each player receives a random Role card among Sheriff (1x), Deputy (2x), Outlaw (3x) and Renegade (1x), which is kept secret, with the notable exception of the Sheriff-card which is immediately placed face up. The role distribution depends on the number of players. The Sheriff and up to two Deputies must kill the Renegade and all Outlaws in order to win the game. The (max 3) Outlaws must kill the Sheriff, but may earn rewards by killing each other. The lonely Renegade is simply trying to be the last one alive!" Bang! (that's the game's name btw).
If anyone's interested let me know ok? If i recall correctly it costs around $30 for a group of 4 for 2 hours, dunno about a bigger group though. There are also set meals so you can play while you eat. Hope the response is gd! Cya guys tmr :) Oh and the 3 "beautiful charming attractive cute lovely girls" too of course.
