Clodhopper

While normal 21 year olds are out galavanting late into the evening club-going or bar-hopping, my friends -  wonderful, amazing, fabulous friends that they are - came over for an evening of board games. Even though the evening started out with some bad (sad) zucchini [does anyone know the best temperature/time to bake zucchini? Google was not as helpful as I needed it to be, sadly] it ended perfectly with wine and lots of laughter.

For those of you who do not know, Balderdash is the "classic bluffing game." As it "rewards knowledge and creativity" it has been a favorite board game now for a while {we even played it at my birthday party when I was younger}. First there is the "dasher" (essentially the "dealer"). She draws a card (on the card are five topics - words, initials, "laughable laws," "peculiar people" and movies) and then chooses whichever one [for example, movies] she likes best/thinks is most funny/will easily dupe us etc.. The other players then listen to the title of the movie [for example, "Delivery Boys"] and attempt to come up with their own short synopsis [or definition for words/claim to fame for people etc.] The actual answer gets thrown in with the fake ones and everyone guesses which one she believes is the actual answer. Points are awarded if you guess the correct answer and if someone else guesses your answer. As I am sure you can tell, this was absolutely hilarious.
