For some reason, our office seems to have a box full of old board games. Though they seem to be of rather... questionable taste, a few still look like they could be fun.

Anyone up for a game?

Perfect, a game about a swamp. I'll be right thereas soon as I roll a six and shoot this gorilla in the head. Or maybe I'll join in halfway through -- if it's going to last two years like the swamp game we're already stuck in.

[defrestsinpeace]

No, the swamp game takes 10-20 minutes per play, according to the box.

What's the fake premise behind this one? "My swamp zombie ate my homework"?

"Join Swamp Thing and his heroic companions Tomahawk and Bayou Jack on a perilous journey to the heart of the bayou. Dr. Anton Arcane must be confronted, and his evil plot to destroy the bayou must be foiled. Along the way, you will encounter the Un-Men, Arcane's hideous henchmen, and at last, face Dr. Anton Arcane in the final climatic clash."

2-4 players, play time 20 minutes.

HAH! No one can defeat me at board games.

[defrestsinpeace]

Is that so?

[snakesonanin]

Bring it.

[defrestsinpeace]

Which one looks interesting?

I fail to see how choking on a mouse is an amusing pastime.

You're welcome to join us and find out.

There's a first time for everything, I suppose

*Pulls out the game. It's very brightly colored.*

Let's see... these are the parts of the trap... these are our pieces... hmmm....

I played mouse trap when I was a kid.

[defrestsinpeace]

We... tried to play it. I think our game was missing a few pieces.

Ah well, good luck with the other games. The teen mystery game doesn't look too strange.

[defrestsinpeace]

That one looks like it would take a lot of preparation.

[vegan_megan]

That one even looks nearly like a roleplaygame.

[defrestsinpeace]

The Dungeons and Dragons game is just a special edition of Clue, I'm afraid.

[vegan_megan]

I should have known better than getting my hopes up.

[defrestsinpeace]

You should dig around, I haven't gotten everything out of the box yet.
