A New Game!

It's not unusual for me and my friends to discover weird, random things, but tonight, we experienced something that was unusual even to us.  Games are the perfect solution to a bored night in, or even as a simple distraction to a confusing paper I had to write for tomorrow.  One that was amazing, especially for large groups of people (even though there was a total of three of us playing, it would definitely be more fun with more people), is Quelf.  I'm guessing out there, not many people have heard of this, but at the local Barnes and Noble, my suitemate stumbled upon a rare game that is a step up from even Cranium.  Not only do you get to move your pieces toward an inevitable end in the middle of the board, you get to perform acts, such as talking like a pirate or saying everything twice until a new card tells you not to, but quirky trivia is also mixed in among the cards.  For instance, a pentagram is not a shape, but a nonagon is.  If you have a large group of people, definitely try this game.  You won't be let down.
