3 Round

Friday night we had Game Night. Something that I really enjoy hosting on a regular basis. As I was getting the house ready for guests and game space, I found out that we were only going to have maybe 4 or 5 guests. Well Charades and Catch Phrase are great, great games, but with only 4 or 5 people.. it's just not AS fun as it could be!! So on the basis that game night could be a dud... I thought about canceling or readjusting game night. We planned for maybe a little bit of games and then maybe a group outing to the movies. Then some great friends showed up that I wasn't for sure were coming! A couple more were able to show up sooner than originally planned and that equals a fantastic game night with 10 people!


As we considered Catch Phrase or Charades...  Mary Rachel and Andrew mentioned this game called 3 Round. 3 Round is amazing --- You can play with groups of 2,3, or 4, but you want more than 2 teams. Then each person writes down 3 nouns and puts them in a bowl. 
Round 1. A team starts. One person from the team has 30 seconds to try and go through as many words as possible from the bowl in Catch Phrase format (saying anything other than the word on the paper and no motions to get your team to guess it). Once 30 seconds is up, you keep the words your teams guessed and the next team goes. You continue this (switching players when your teams goes again) until all the words are out of the bowl. Tally up the scores for each time and then put all the words back in the bowl. Round 2. Same process with same words. Instead of Catch Phrase format, you are only allowed to describe the word with ONE WORD. Go around until all words are out of bowl again. Tally up your scores and put all the words back in the bowl. Round 3. CHARADES TIME! Same process, but no words and only motions!


-- The most Fantastic Game Night Ever! It was EPIC! We hope to have many more!
