You know you’re going to have a fun day when your first activity upon leaving the bedroom in the morning and wandering downstairs for breakfast is to vanquish hundreds of itty bitty pests. Stupid ants. They were making a meal of the kitties’ food, so I moved and washed and sprayed and cleaned and so forth (being careful not to get anything anywhere near cat vittles as well as making sure the floor was well cleaned afterward, thank you).
Well, okay. I actually did have a fun day: The kidlets came over, and we played Freeloader, Unexploded Cow and Carcassonne: The Discovery. Erica came from behind to win the first, I clobbered the kids at the second and Alex ran away with the third. I’d say that’s a fair and balanced afternoon of gaming, wouldn’t you?

What fun are UNexploded cows? Or do you get to explode them? *glee*
The blurb on the Unexploded Cow box reads something like, “You’ve found two problems with a common solution: mad cows in England, and unexploded WWII bombs in France.”
You can sort of guess the rest at that point. *grin*
C:tD is much like Carcassonne the Original but with fewer Meeples, as scoring is much more “as you go” than in the original game. I wouldn’t call it better, exactly, but it is an interesting variation.
Indeed, you DO get to explode them 🙂 That is part of the fun, in addition to the funny pictures!! You should give the game a try *grin*
“Pharaoh” ants, by any chance? They were our nemesis for almost a decade; unbelievably hard to eradicate.
And now I’m curious about “Carcassonne: The Discovery” (and of course “Unexploded Cow”). Reminds me of a recently finished book. The Discovery, that is, not Unexploded Cow.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
