We found a new card game, that I think you ladies would love. For some reason, I imagine Zsa and HMo would be the best.
You have a family of 5 members. They are all crazed anyway, like the Nefarious Nanny, the twisted carnival conductor, Mr. Giggles the clown, etc. But, you are trying to lower their self worth as low as you can get. Then, when you have it as low as you think you can, you want to kill them off. The first family fully dead, ends the game. The winner is the owner of the family with the lowest self worth.
You lower their self worth by having horrible things happen to then. Such as being Taunted by Tigers, Pursued by Poodles, Ruined by Rum, etc. So, you're telling a story about what horrible things happened. You can have good things happen and you want to play those on your opponents, lifting their self-worth scores. You make up a story to go along with it. My favorite story I ended up with was Thumbalisa, the mediocre miniature opera singer, who was Menaced by Mice in her dressing room and while running from them was Vexed by Vipers, Angered by Asps and something by Snakes, which lead to her being Smothered with Sores and her untimely death by Burdened with Boils. Only another player intervened to keep her death from happening, their Butler cast a voodoo that meant someone found her and got her to the hospital in time. Only I was able to flip it on my next turn and say that the woo always comes back to the caster and make them sick and poor Thumbalisa died for real this time.
We had a blast and we were all cracking up. If you like Series of Unfortunate Events, this will be right up your alley. We already want to buy an expansion pack. The base game was $25 and we've already played the hell out of it. It's really simple to pick up as well, which is always nice.
