Have your game and eat it, too...

In what seems like an ongoing series of post about games and eating (see the chocolate monopoly post), here's a few pics from a fun little post with a hundred game cupcakes. Ah, eating and gaming... two of my all-time favourite activities.

(Thanks to my sister and cousin for pointing this one out.)

The true "death" of Monopoly...

My particularly clever and witty sister sent us some interesting gifts this past holiday. One of them was Monopoly. At first, after opening it I was annoyed and thought, "You read my blog... You know how I feel about this game!"

Then I realized it was CHOCOLATE Monopoly. Awesome.

We consumed Park Place, Boardwalk, and the Reading Railroad a couple nights ago. So long, Monopoly. You were delicious.

It's a Small World after all...

My partner received Small World from Santa this year (well done, Santa!) and we have now played it 5 times since then. He won't let us play anything else right now and I guess I can see why. It's fun. A lot of fun. I will say, though, that despite the strategy I find it quite chaotic in the sense that your final score is often determined as much by the actions of others as by you. Still, I see myself giving it many more plays since History of The World has always been a favourite of mine but just takes way too long.
