"Wanna play boardgames tonight?"
That's exactly what made my weekend. The sheer desperation of 9 med students with nothing to do on a Saturday night...the thought of playing boardgames seemed rather appealing. In the cold of the night, Nadia, Bal, Dhivyan and I walked the 15 minutes to Carlton House, Grafton (one of the other uni accomodations close to med school where most of the Imu-ers stay) where the others - Kit Chung, Kim Zhuan, Subha, Gayatri & Kevin, were.And the games began!
Game rather..cos what started out as scepticism about the new game we were being introduced to playing - Shadows Over Camelot, soon turned to obsession as the night wore on and we started honing in on the game. Being quite an avid fan of your typical boardgames such as Monopoly or Risk, this was the first game I've played where everyone had to work together and collectively win the game. Pretty interesting eh?[In the above pic: Bal, Nadia & I]
It took a while for
some of us to shed our inborn desire to gain sole victory haha but before we knew it we were hooked! We kept at it for 5 hours straight...and pretty soon it was 3am. Not your typical Saturday night but everyone there that night would agree, a truly satisfactory one none the less :p.[the pic to the right is of Kit-chung (with his 'hyperthyroid' eyes) and Subha (NOT Shubha hehe she'll get this)]
And here is a picture of moi because as we got better at the game, one player was dealt the 'traitor' card and this person's mission was to secretly foul everyone elses plans and ensure that they didn't win the game..and guess who was the best traitor of the night? HAHA
Now everyone's talking of how they should watch out for me...Umm guys, it's just a game??
P.S. Thinking at the end of the night that I'd played enough boardgames to last me a looong time, we ended up spending our Sunday playing Risk! Haha goes to show you can never underestimate the extent of boredom.
