A weekend away, a weekend of games, a weekend of scheming…

~Monopoly~Uno~Yatzee~Ladder golf (Testicle Toss)~Croquet~

~Wii (yeah, it’s a bit more that the average cottage)~

At most of these games Kevin tried to ‘sway’ the outcome/winner since it clearly wasn’t going to be him.  You might ask how would someone do that?  Don’t these games have rules?  Well, here is an example:

Let’s say you go through the first round on the Monopoly board, a decent amount of spaces are taken and you own a bare minimum of them.  You (Kevin) know that your odds of winning are slim to nil.  So, you decide to form a “corporation”, sell the couple properties you did own to another player (Nate) for a dollar.  YES, I said $1!  Then he (Nate) agreed to ‘look the other way’ whenever Kev landed on his properties.

These actions snowballed and by the middle of the game all the boys were on one side plotting and scheming… The girls continued to play as sole proprietors…

You might be wondering how did that work out for them?

Not good, Mel was the winner-I was runner up!

Proving: Honesty is the best policy!
