Time again for "Death Challenges you to a Duel" What game do you pick
Edited on Wed May-04-05 07:33 AM by LynneSin
Always a lounge favorite!

Death challenges you to a Duel with a game of your choice. IF you lose, Death takes you home with him. If you win, you continue to live until the next time I post a "Death Challenges you to a Duel" thread.

What game do you pick?

Me, I'd challenge death to a game of Canasta, I'm very good at Canasta

14. Wheel Of Fortune
Or Age of Empires. AOE is the only one I can think of that I stand a pretty good chance at winning. It's all about ancient warfare and in video game form, that's easy. Wheel Of Fortune/crossword puzzles are also a fairly decent bet for me although I would stand a better chance at AOE.

49. Hide and Seek
I'll let death hide anywhere he wants, then I will go seek him (after counting to 100) - when I find him, we switch roles, and he can look for me (after counting to 100) - whoever finds the other quickest is declared the winner of the game.

54. Othello
I am a master at that game and I swear to god I can beat anybody.

Second choice: Hand and foot canasta. But you can't let me near cards cuz I cheat - even at solitaire.


And what's with this "him" crap? Haven't you read Sandman? Death is a really cool, gorgeous goth chick. I might just lose the game to hang out with her for awhile and maybe (if I'm lucky) snog a bit.

Khash.

55. I think Scrabble.
I'd kick ass unless I started feeling vain and playing for "style" instead of "points". A former roommate of mine and I used to play Scrabble all night sometimes in college. We'd play for style and quietly applaud each other: "ooh, NICE one." Until one of us slammed the other with a cheap-style, high-point word. Our name for that was "Point Whore".

edit: we'd need two more to play... anyone up for it? play to 1500, nil and blind nil for 200/400, pass one for nil, two for blind, ace high- no two's. I guess we draw to play with and against Death!

62. I still play it all the time. It's a classic, like Chess.
We have two tubes here. My hubby and I both brought a Pente into the marriage.

Mine has red and clear glass winks. His has red and green winks.

Such a great game :)

64. No, Parker Bros bought it and they were issuing the
game with a standard board and thin plastic winks. Just awful. Then Winning Moves Games bought it and brought back the glass winks but kept the damn board.

Hang on to the old tube -- it's a keeper!

Or, if you're the DM, you can just kill off Death's character.
