Allies and Adversaries

 So I had the chance to play "Allies and Adversaries" at the library it was a game like the reality TV shows "Traitors" or "Devils Plan". Basically a bunch of games where you can earn points. Staff member Stef modified it for 3 players(should have been 8 minimum). (One of the staff acted as a player, so it was sadly only 2) 

 

Scrabble Game - This was a team game. If we had more players I imagine there would be more then one team but as it stood we all played together. We had 3 minutes and of bunch of scrabble letters to make words that fit the category. The catch is you can make words that seem to fit the theme but are not words you are looking for. We finished the 2nd two rounds but failed the first. 

 

Picture Game -  We had to look at pictures and buzz in(we had no buzzers so we just made silly sound effects) if we saw the same one twice. Whoever buzzes first gets the points. I did not do that well at that game but one of the other players failed outright, while the other one was a champion at this sort of thing. 

  

Card game - You have the cards 1 - 7. Each round players put down 2 cards face down. Then flip them over at the same time. You then bet on which card you want to play into the centre of the board. If any two cards form any two players match they cancel each other out and those players get 0 points. The heigher the card the more points you get. Each round you put the card you did not use in the "penital box"(tape on the table) and the other card is discarded. The man who won the picture game also won this. 

 

Trater game - Before the games began we each picked up a card, if it had a "x" on it your where the trater and an "o" if your an "ally". If there where more players the would have been a few elimination rounds but with 3 players we only did it once. Everyone puts they heads down and then the traters put they heads up and point to allies to steal there points. 

If the trater is caught he loses all his points. I was the trater and stole the points from the guy who won the other games. He knew I was the trater because I accidentally said something like "So what does the trater do again?". I should have said "Can you please repeat that". 😄

In the end, the player with the least points won because I took the winners points and he took mine by identifying me as the trater Staff member Stef gave the prize to the man with the most points since he did so well! 

It was a lot of fun and I am glad I got to play it. By the way, the man who one everything, thought he was the "number 1 library fan" but somehow I have never seen him before and he does not even have a library card. 😋 Stef knew this man. I can't remember this mans name(UPDATE: I think it's Javen?) and won't say it, even it I did for privacy. 

Overall an outstanding evening.  

 

Also there is an "Easter Egg" on this blog often the colour of text I use for staff members names is what colour I often see them wear.
