German card games and pheasant

If you've never heard of Ligretto, that makes you completely normal. I hadn't either until it showed up at our house one day with my roommate's brother. I wasn't sure that I could trust a German made game what with all the WWI and WWII trouble, but I remembered that I my first car was a 1972 VW bug, and that helped me give the Germans another chance to win over my heart.

Ligretto is a fast paced card game that involves a lot of yelling, but not because yelling is an established part of the rules. Yelling is involved because you get very upset with the people that take your plays. I made the rule that you can only swear in German, something had to be done because people were acting a lot like arschlochs. Here's an example of the dialogue, when a winner is chosen he yells, "Ligretto."

Player 1: "AHHH, that's my red four!"

Player 2: "More like that's your mom's red four!"

Player 3: "LIGRETTO!!"

Everyone else who didn't win: "ARSCHLOCK! How did you win?"

Any who, this week's installment of Ligretto also involved us all eating a pheasant that was shot and killed by our friend Dane. Ha Ha. For the record, pheasant isn't half bad, even with buck shot. One boy that was eating it kept saying, "Down the gullet." As he swallowed the pheasant and buck shot. I wonder how he's feeling?

Here is a video of some random Youtube stars playing, sometime I'll have the presence of mind to video our crew. We are much more entertaining.
