Yes that's right there are games that we can play in real life. Back in the day we called them board games and would usually consist of a family crowding around a 4x4 board and roll some 6 sided dice. This past weekend the Benefit Evil team had a 18 hour board game marathon and we did exactly that. Its been a long time since I've had so much fun with some pieces of plastic and wood. We played for me what embodied my child hood in the classic game Hero Quest. If you have never played the game it takes 4 adventures and puts them on 14 separate quests to defeat the evil overlord Zargon. In this instance Zargon actually won. If Hero Quest is something you like look for us in December as we broad cast our (mis) adventures.
We also threw in some more modern games like Galaxy trucker and Battlestar Galactica. The former had us construct space ships and then race them, while the latter had us accuse each other of being a Cylon. It was all good fun. it has been quite a while since I've played this many board game and it has rekindled a love I thought I had lost. I will always love video games the have been a part of my life for 25+ years but before there where video games there where board games. There is just something magical about getting together with your friends and having real social interaction.
