Card Games

Today, around the dinner hour, my roommates and I were hunkered around the dinner table with nothing to do. Then we had an idea. We brought out one of these little beauties:

A deck of cards. That's right. Now the fun was REALLY about to begin.

We began our epic game night by playing a game of Mao. I had never played it before, but I can assure you that it is one of the funnest games I have yet played. Mao is like Uno, except there are certain rules that go along with playing the game. For example, if you put down a diamond on the discard pile, you have to say, "Look at those sparkly diamonds!" If you fail to remember a rule, you have to draw a card. The person who gets rid of all their cards first gets to make up a new rule, which the other players figure out as they play.


You can imagine what this all led to--all sorts of hilarious new "rules", like having to shout "Narwhal!" after putting down a black card with an even number, or having to say "Ooh La La!" after putting down the same number or face as the card that was previously played.


One deck = one night full of unforgettable memories. What more could one ask for?
