Six (lack of) Sleep note. Game night. Audio as always sn@pnwsalex

[Hey look, it's yet another post that does not happen at three in the morning. It seems that Alex is actually sleeping for the most part. It's kind of amazing. And she's also sounding extremely chipper, even if there is the faintest of whispers of 'Richard' from somewhere behind her. Look, she locked the thing in the drawer of her desk and it still keeps saying the name of the person she has a crush on. It's all Jeff's fault. But she's not going to mention it at all. Nope, it's not even happening. Instead, she's focused on something else.]

So I was talking with a friend recently, or at least recently-ish anyway about games. Like board games and things like that. Did you know that dice and games were used before recorded history on Earth? And that dice were found in tombs in Iran that date back to 2800–2500 BCE? So honestly, playing games is like something that really seems universal and kind of timeless as well.

Which brings me to my next question, and trust me I really do have a point. What sort of games did you play at home? Do you have copies here? What sort of games do you want to see if you have copies of?

I'm putting together a game night, either renting out a cafe, or if need be the school, and I'd like to include something from everywhere if possible. Board games, dice games, card games, it's all going to be welcome here. If nothing else, it'll be a nice distraction from everything else. [Everything else here meaning all of the love festival stuff that's going down.] And the goal is to play five games you've never played before, so come on down.

I'm not even limiting games like Monopoly or Uno or whatever. [Even though she probably should just based on her experience. She's also definitely not bringing Mario Kart. Alex does have some sense of fair play and wanting to keep friendships in tact. For now anyway.]

Also hi if you don't know who I am. I'm Alex. Alex Reagan. Welcome.

I will admit that I have no idea what the Ragnans played for amusement.I don't think teasing my groupmates and our associates really count as a game.

[At least she's honest, okay.]

But I will admit that I'm curious as to what people do during their downtime.

[Also, she would like some of that. Please spare.]

[The faintly mentioned Richard happens to walk into the room as she's giving her audio feed. He sets a cup of coffee down in front of Alex, leaning over her and saying:]

Trivial Pursuit.

Carrom, which I have yet to find here, and backgammon, which seems to be universal.

At the risk of sounding boring, I've always had a weakness for chess.

I don't think I've ever played a game on a board. But I have played with dice and definitely have with cards.

whats the buy in

[1. sorry in advance, Jintetsu's bad at computers.
2. this is gambling, right? adults don't play games unless they're gambling?]

Do you have Scrabble? What I lack in skill, I make up for in enthusiasm!

That...kind of sounds like fun.

[There's a yawn, never mind why Lucy would be up this late.]

If...you're playing 5 games, you should have it be fore 2 days. So everyone can play all 5.

I didn't always have time to play games. When I was real little I liked to play mouse trap. I've only played card games in recent times though, mostly blackjack and poker.

I've heard of monopoly but never had a board to play it on.

I'm Angel.

I really liked.... like Chess. My dad taught it to me even though he got impatient with me a lot... Richard is a lot more patient. I think he lets me win sometimes but pretends he isn't letting me win.

[ There's a little laugh. ]

I really like playing with a dreidel... I didn't get to last year. There's not really anyone that cares about Jewish holidays here. I don't even know where I could have gotten a dreidel.

Yom Kippur was this week but I didn't really do anything... I mean I did reflect on things but... it's not really the same.
