Board Games Night - No. Fear

Who's in and what date would be the best?
Friday: April 15th or 22nd?
Saturday: April 16th, 23rd?

I think Cranium, Taboo and the usual suspects will be on hand to play.
(Taboo is in German)

Friday would be a deifinite order out night and Saturday could be a pot luck grill out depending on the weather.

I like the Saturday with grilling option, though could probably come later on Fri.

So I guess I'll cast my vote for Sat. 16 April

I like Saturday grills. I'm interested in the word games Saan mentioned, suspecting (s)he might be talking about Fictionary which I learned as Balderdash, one of my all-time favorite games.

April 16.

what kind of games? settlers? monopoly? scrabble? twister?

Cranium I think is a defo. I like Gen's "fictionary" idea of pseudo Balderdash and that was one that people wanted to play so that may just be the second table's game if we can whip something up. That might be fun using a German dictionary!

Ok, we need some more votes here. This Saturday looks to be cool and possibly rainy, but you know how the weather is around here.

Dammit.
Everytime this post comes up I click it automatically (and gleefully) thinking someone's set up some giant projector screens in their home and they're going to host a massive Playstation Gran Turismo or Tekken night or something...
You're talking about board games though aren't you??

indeedy do! Some may even be German-style board games

I should have to work on saturday...but also should be off by the time any breakdancing or keg stands happen

Hey Gen, can you dig up the link to the archived thread?

I wish I could join you this weekend, but have better plans. Sisters birthday!

Saturdays are always best for me as I work fridays. (yes, all day)

Eurovol? SEARCH YOU DORK you know better than that.

glad you're a tough guy who doesn't need smileys.

SO, anybody have a final decision?

Saturday is looking like a grill and games party!

Who is in?

Weather is looking good for Sat.

What time are you firing up the grill? What should we bring?

I'm in! Maybe hubby too, must check with him.

Saturday April 16th it is.

Ok, I will fire the grill up 4:30ish so it will be ready to start cooking at 5ish.
Bring whatever you want to grill and any sides/snacks that you would like.
I will probably do some spuds and whip up a salad for those attending.
There is a Tengelmann right across the street, so you can buy stuff there as well.
Bring or buy drinks too.

Bring Cranium!

If it stays warm into the night, we can use the patio for playing as well. Normally, around 6:30-7ish it gets cool fast, but it is suppose to be really warm tomorrow.

PM for directions and post who all is coming.
Nisha? Kat? others?

I'll bring a dessert I think. Those're always fun.

There's a 70% chance right now...my gf's mom has NEVER visited our apartment since I've lived here...and will be here tomorrow...so as soon as she leaves, umm...yeah. She's a drinker though, so not sure how long she'll stay...could be 30-minutes mid-day too though, then there's no problem. If we do make it, we'll grab some stuff for the grill or head to Tengelmann when we get there (since it's damn close).

Have yet to hear from the people with Cranium, but no fear we have a large selection of games on hand.

Whoops, just noticed that Games night is tonight. I will bring Cranium!!

We had a great time -- wanted to add that I've found both illustrators I was thinking of.
Gary Baseman illustrated Cranium, but I thought it was Travis Lampe. They are quite similar, also similar to Slug Signorino, who does the illustrations for the Straight Dope.
