For ages I've been hearing about EM's Monday Games Night. Every Monday her flat challenges her brothers flat at some type of game (usually a board game). The loser from last weeks game hosts and provides dinner.
JP and I went on a bit of a board game shopping spree on Sunday and ended up playing games all evening. So we decided a Monday Games night was in order.
It was boys (CR, MW & JP) versus girls (VR, RC & me) in a rousing game of Cranium.
The boys thought they had a round in the bag with a question about JRR Tolkein. But who would have guessed that there really is a character named 'groin' in his books - certainly not our boys.
The girls seemed to be best at the Creative Cat's and not so great at the Data Heads or Word Worms. Meanwhile the boys seemed to be best at the Data Head's and not so much with the Star Performers.
Us girls dominated for the majority of the game right until the end (when it really matters). The boys snaked us at the post to take the game home.
We decided that for the next game the losers would have to provide nibbles, so looks like us girls will be bringing the nibbles!
Monday night is the night that seems so dreary at the beginning of a long week. But games night made Monday fun and energising. I definetly think we should try and do it weekly if everyone's keen!
