the ultimate night chez vous.


"life is a party"
- unknown

now that summer is here and we're spending more time socializing and less time running away from the cold (aka sit on my ass at home.com), there are plenty of opportunities to bust out your favorite party tricks. here are a few of *~*'s well classiks for any occasion:

1.) murder mystery

with the right mix of people, this game will light a fire under your ass. for $30, you purchase a box kit of characters, decoration ideas, and recipes to conduct the perfect themed evening. no one knows who each other is at the beginning, and i'm telling you, after nine bottles of wine no one remembers much by the end (please see photographic evidence above). a guaranteed shit storm, leave anyone you care about at home and come ready to play hard.

2.) never have i ever

they say mo' money, mo' problems, so this is a divine freebie for those awkward turtle moments when you've reached a rough patch with a group. basically, everyone puts up five fingers and gets called out on all the things they've done. while it can be an innocent tale of "i've never skydived" or "i've never had a full beer," the game often turns to what gets hot and heavy between two (or more) folks. and for the record, never have i ever had sex in my parent's bed -- that's just nasty.

3.) apples to apples

a mastermind personality game! more than anything, this is a test of if you can read what makes your opponents tick. at heart, it's a non-traditional card game involving nouns and adjectives. ultimately, it can be riot, but again, you need a good group dynamic. aka anyone overly cynical or outwardly rude can bring the morale to an all time low. but i guess that's true in all situations in life.

4.) twister

this is a perfect game to ease sexual tension. you are allowed to lay on top of and touch body parts of your competitors and it's not considered harassment. note: this is not a good for babysitting when you're with two pre-pubescent boys and wearing a mini-skirt. i do not speak from experience.
