I am pretty sure that wasn’t me…
Naw, I am doing alright without that gift…
Nothing like relaxing the night away with some jazz music…maybe I’ll write something tonight…yeah…

Game Day Sunday: Cards, Dice, Hearts, Insanity…LOVECRAFT!
So every Sunday or so, my brother and I get together with some of our friends and just spend the day playing all kinds of games. Board games, card games, dice games, video games…you know that sort of thing. Often we play something we already know how to play and are comfortable taking our turns till the day is over…but we also enjoy challenging ourselves with new and interesting games some people might avoid for a reason or another…Today, we played “Arkham Horror”, A game where you and your allies play a group of investigators bracing themselves as an “Ancient One”, A powerful and chaotic being, stirs and begins to tear into their world. A game of strategy, thrills, spills and the macabre as only H. P. Lovecraft would have it.
Going into the game, I got quick intro into the rules and game play but I tend to learn faster as I watch other people take their turns and as the game is played. After a few rounds and a few questions answered as they appeared we were soon roaming the city of Arkham trying to stop old squid head (Cthulhu) from coming around and twisting our reality and ultimately putting us into a nightmare we were never to wake up from…Well turns out this is much tougher then chewing raw calamari! As the players resolve their turns and a whole round is over a portal into another realm opens up releasing monsters forth into the streets and doom one step closer…Our daring investigators must fight or sneak past the monsters, jump into the chaos and after overcoming the madness and retaining their sanity return to Arkham and close or seal the portal in order to keep “The Ancient Ones” at bay…
I had fun and the flavor was very Lovecraft. The folks over at “Fantasy Flight Games” did a great job to keep me wondering what was going to happen next and when something strange did happen it was always a pleasant twist…Now let me be clear about something, THIS GAME IS NOT EASY! Oh no, some monsters are real jerks and take everything you can muster to defeat and other events can have you spending a few rounds lost in time and space and all the while the odds seem to be stacked against you and your team. I felt like everyone was leaning up against a door trying to stop the game from finishing and the monster braking in and gobbling up every one…It was fun!
Give it a shot some time if you ever get one…and don’t let how complicated it can look turn you away…
Today Cthulhu won but next time we’ll be ready!

Such an awesome and fun album…give it a spin some day…
Over the falls and into the drink
The barrel breaks and we slowly sink
They tried the handcuffs but they won’t lock
Electrical courses but they won’t shock
