Blokus!!

I jumped for joy when I stumbled upon this game at a cafe in Cineleisure. I was looking for it sometime last year but heard that one can only get it in Singapore. I was so excited and finally ended up buying the version for 4 players, instead of 2 (since hubby also said that this way, more people can join in the fun when we have a games night!). Yippeee!! :D

Took this picture of the instructions printed on the back of the box- hmm not sure if the instructions posted here are actually legible. Anyway, it's a really really simple game, and each game is unique. Apparently, Blokus is the 'Most Awarded Game of the 21st Century'!

Colours for 4 players...

Hubby and I partitioned the board so that we could play a 2-player game. He's already beaten me 3 times! :p Beginner's luck, he says. I say it helps that he's into buildings and blocks and stuff. ^_^

Talk about sour grapes! Hahaha :D

Let the Games begin!

Hubby and I were so excited to hear that there was a Games Night planned on Sunday evening over at ML's place. Those who know me well will know that I'm a bit of a games freak, heh... :p

We were the first to arrive (told you we were excited) and was greeted with the sight of a lovely home with an art-gallery theme! The interior design was incredibly unique; there were rows and rows of paintings on the walls and even a lovely bench for guests to sit on to admire the artwork. Silly me forgot to take photos to show you what I mean... O_o

Anyway, there was also a day bed in the living room- decked out in Indian finery. It was so comfortable; can just imagine lazing around while being pampered and fed grapes! Hahahaha :D

We had KFC, satay and some lovely salads made by Cheese and ML. Yummy! There were soooo many types of desserts as well; mango pudding, chocolates, cupcakes, mini-ice creams, sesame snaps. All of us got so stuffed and ended up lying around the living room floor like beached whales! ^_^

Cupcakes made by JT (I had 3!)

With our tummies full of food and wine, it's a feat that we managed to play any games at all! Time only permitted us to properly try out 2 games- Charoodles (charades with props) and Absolute Balderdash (hilarious bluffing game). Think our laughter nearly brought the house down!! :D

Check out the games collection *drool*

It was a lovely evening indeed; haven't had so much fun in ages! Thank you so much ML for hosting!
