We discovered a fantastic game last night. It's called Quelf. The game begins like any other game as you try to move your game pieces around a board. As the game develops, you roll the die, then choose a card depending on where you landed on the game board. The questions, or actions, or poems, etc get kind of crazy and have a little bit of a "Curses" feel (so they say). You may be asked to answer a simple question, but you are more likely to be asked to video tape an opponent as he answers a question with an invisible video camera while doing a play by play, or standing in the form of an "X" until your next turn. You might be told to say, "I command you to be silent" any time someone laughs, or play leapfrog with an opponent. Last night Mark and I had to mumble the words to our favorite Christmas carol in a sad way as we stared at our game piece with out laughing. If we failed (which we didn't) we would have had to go back two spaces. But that wouldn't have been too bad because our friend Tyler would have had to pretend to be a bubbling, flushing toilet as we did it. As the game came to an end, it became totally random and hilarious. There were land mines blowing up, original poems being read, and rap songs (I think that's what he was going for) being sung all at the same time until the game finally ended when the "Biscuit Farmer" (that was our game piece) finally made it to the end.

We'd definitely recommend this game. It was so fun and great for families, parties or what ever. If you'd like to take a peak at the action, watch this short video clip.

Movie coming... In the mean time here are some photos.
