It's time to participate in another challenge by the ASEAN Hive Community. Every week, the challenges are becoming more and more interesting. I always look forward to joining every week, though I fail to do so at times. haha Anyway, I'm excited for this week's topic which is Tabletop Games.
Well, we don't play these very often but when there are some family gatherings, we sometimes have board game nights.
I will share two different games in this post. They are the "5 Second Rule" and "Scrabble".
This board game actually belongs to my bestie, Ielle. She brought this from the US the last time she visited the Philippines. We had so much fun playing it. I remember it was on Christmas break, so my younger cousins Nicole and Godwyn were in our house. We all gathered in the dining table that time and played this together while munching on some snacks.
In this game, one person should pick a card and answer what's asked. He or she is given 5 seconds to answer. That yellow thing is a timer and it makes this really funny sound. If the person answers correctly within 5 minutes, he or she can keep the card. The person who gets the most cards in the end wins.
It so challenging and funny especially because of the time limit. I remember that one time I got asked "Name 3 male royal positions" and I answered... "King, Prince and Dutch" hahahah I was supposed to say "Duke", but I was thinking of duchess during that time.
When we didn't have electricity for weeks following the super typhoon, my parents and I use the timer and play a modified version of the game. We each think of a question and ask the other players. The fastest player to answer wins and gets to ask next. We asked really random questions including personal ones like "What are my top 3 favorite food?" and the like.
I guess a lot of you are already familiar with scrabble. It's a word game you could play with 2 or more people. When I was in high school, I used to compete in scrabble and double scrabble. It was actually fun!
Mama especially enjoys playing this game. She even plays scrabble on her smartphone. Those times when we didn't have electricity, mama and I played it a lot before the sun went down. You can probably still see some of our scores on the paper in the picture above.
When my younger cousin comes over, we also play this board game together. It's a nice way to get away from our phones once in a while, though most of the time we play mobile games. haha
Any type of board games or tabletop games can be loads of fun especially when played with crazy people. Aside from the ones I shared above, I and my cousins used to play Monopoly, Snakes and Ladders, UNO and a lot more in the past. I don't have those games at home, though. So, I used to play it in my cousin's house.
That's it for this post. I would love to play these games again soon! Thanks for reading. (^^,)/
