I've come up with a new game, suitable for parties of all ages.
All you really need is a bulletin board or some other large writing surface. This is how it works:
A person, presumably the host of the party, creates a rule. Everyone takes turns making a rule every ten minutes or so. It can be most anything, but the idea of the game is to create a lot of little neuroses (rules) that everyone has to follow. If a person is seen breaking the rule, whoever caught them gets to shout, "busted!" (or similar), and assign that person a rule of their own.
I would encourage the rules to be very small, but noticeable behavioral tics such as not walking on cracks in tile, only eating unsplit peanuts, talking only when your hand is on your neck, touching an object when entering a room, and so on.
After a few hours of this, everyone will have about a dozen neuroses, and will be eyeing each other to try to catch someone else. Any rule that is excessively difficult, unfair, or otherwise unpopular can be undone by a majority vote.Labels: games, party, random |
