Pasta night!
Yes! Pasta night is back! (with added American)
Tonight we skipped the voteamabob and went straight for Muffin Time, which is basically Fluxx but sillier and crazier. It looked like being straightforward... for all of two turns, then we completely lost track of what was going on as everything got increasingly bonkers. Eventually Kyle stormed to victory via a combination of me changing the rules to "the person with the largest hand wins" and Kyle playing a card that let him take everyone else's hand.
We had a bit of time afterwards, so Paddy dug out 20 Second Showdown which is pretty much what it says on the tin: there's two teams, a sandtimer that you start with 20 seconds in each half, and a set of increasingly random challenges. First team to run out of time attempting a challenge loses! It's definitely the sort of game that should come with a minimum drink limit 😅
The drive back was something of a magical mystery tour - I decided to head via Petworth (to avoid the Fontwell roadworks), only to find that the south-west exit from Petworth was closed, and a not particularly well signed diversion that took me all the way up to Haslemere before heading back down to Midhurst! Looking back at the route on a map, what I should have done at Haslemere is continued west to pick up the A3 - or ignored the diversion entirely and gone south-east towards Fittleworth and then Bury.
