Living the part

13 January 2009

When John and Sam were here at the weekend we played Articulate, at first following a version of the rules, then when we’d been round the board once, we made up our own game with the cards. Being someone who would be unable to talk were my hands to be cut off, I was challenged to perform the action words on a pile of cards using only mime. No problem, but I still couldn’t believe it when John correctly guessed “hunting” when I’d taken barely two pantomime-style stalking steps forward. Then I looked down at my hands and saw that without even realising it I’d already been miming holding a shotgun.

Hee hee! You crack me up. I want to play your version with y’all. Sounds like so much fun. If only we were all on the same time zone… and on the same side of the pond.

It sounds so fun.
I read on Amazon.com that the American version is a “dummed down” version.
