Dad's Games

Because it was Father's Day, we gave Dad some games. One is a Mafia-style game called One Night Ultimate Werewolf. The other is a build-the-board-as-you-explore haunted mansion game called Betrayal at House on the Hill. You can trigger many different stories and endings, so it was pretty neat.


We wore some ties to church for Father's Day

Matt and Sam's new baby, Greg, was getting blessed today, so we paid their ward a visit. It was a little hard to hear some of the talks, which was too bad since one boy told a neat story about his dad losing the keys to the family car in a hole where a snake lived, and what they had to do to get them out. I'd have liked to listen to the whole thing.

This evening, we had a large family dinner with members of Sam's side of the family. There were quite a lot of people in our kitchen, but we made it work. It is kind of nice to have had that remodel- our old kitchen had a much harder time fitting people like this.

Our family played Dad's new games around the low living room table tonight. That Betrayal game certainly was long! I think it took us longer to make our Haunt roll than is typical. Mom ended up being the traitor; her player died and morphed into a giant two-headed snake monster. We played a few rounds like that, but ended up putting the game on hold. Some other day we'll finish it, but for now, we played a game of Werewolf instead.
