Monday Games

Have you ever played Taboo? It's not really that tricky if you and your partner are on the same wavelength. If you are not, however, it can be a bit exasperating for both parties. Consider this card.

My clue was "This fruit is sometimes found in bars at Christmastime." My partner interpreted it this way: A guy walked into a bar at Christmastime and asked the bartender for a Bud and one of a these fruits. We were totally not on the same page. I'm thinking food, he's thinking drinks. The answer was : A date.

Another clue: This is a violation involving a red truck with sirens. The response: parking in the firelane? Nope. The answer: arson.

We had better luck with some different games.
