Remember those rainy Sunday afternoons of the 70’s all gathered around the
coffee table for "family time" with the battered boxes of Ludo, Monopoly or Cluedo... how things
have changed in 40 years – Blood, Guts and Zombies….
Sunday saw what is becoming a regular family outing of Zombicide – Black Plague.
What
could be better than a co-op game, no cheating, no falling out and
everyone as long as we all make it off the board wins…. Perfect
for family harmony.
Turn
one half the family set off in the wrong direction from the agreed
plan, they hack and slay their way into Yellow and then Orange before
the parents are even out of Blue, We are chased by every dead thing
on the board and are only
armed with what might as well be a wooden sword and a feather pillow.
Pinned in a hovel hunting for a big weapon that might save the day only to be confronted by several nasties all interested in having us for lunch.
Well you can guess the rest….
Oh how I miss those simple days of Snakes and Ladders….
Fabulous, just the thought of the offspring heading off in the opposite direction to the agreed plan had me in stitches.
ReplyDeleteWe would have suceeded if it was not for those pesky kids :-)
DeleteTypical of kids to do the polar opposite of what their parents want them to do!!!
