Telepaths!

we actually played 2 games. first was "I'm the Boss" which is a game where u try to make deals, negotiate with other players, sabotage and undercut each other. End result is to get the most $$ from yr deals as possible. We got a surprising winner , Wendy, who claims her accountant skills helped a lot. hahhaha.. we shall see.....

2nd game we played was Telepaths. This game is rather interesting as it involves u and your team mate writing a set number of words based on a card which contains a picture or a word. So for example, you and your partner are suppose to write 5 words based on a picture of the american flag. Then you and your partner see how many words you have that are the same and you move that number of steps on the gameboard. Sounds easy? actually its not. I think the most interesting part of the game for me was to see how others think.

You CAN strategize for the game (i.e. ok we describe the object and various colors only ok?) but that will take the fun out of the game. We had loads of laughs seeing how different pple think.. for example, a picture of a deer, pple can write Bambi. Of the word ROME, 1 team member writes Julius, the other writes Caesar. We were wondering if it has got to do with being engineers and accountants and what not. So even if you have limited vocab, watch less tv etc, you still gotta think like your partner for you to win the game.

Fun !
