Procrastination Opportunist

April! I can't believe that's when my last post was!? OK, but I have plenty of excuses like wedding ring plus work contract equals...

But aside from my passion there is also my latest craze - Munchkin and Betrayal at the House on the Hill. Me, the flatties, Justus and Matt Caradus all played them for about 7 hours straight today!

Munchkin is pretty standard fare, but captivating nonetheless. It's a basic card game which sees everyone on a race to get to level 10 first. You have races, classes, and various bonus items and you gotta try and kill monsters and gain levels without anyone else cursing you (which happens in many senses, often after the game is over), interfering in your fights or otherwise hurting your chances of victory. Simple, but addictive.

And the other is Betrayal at the House on the Hill, in which you explore a creepy house which all too soon becomes haunted - one of the players becoming treacherous. The rest of the players have to follow the 'Guide to Survival' and find out which one of the many scenarios is taking place. There are 50 different possible 'haunts' and it involves the traitor (and often his lackeys) against the rest of the group in many wildly varying storylines. We played 3 games straight; amazing how they're never the same twice!
