We're Addicted, Please Help

Written by Kyle about Korea, Republic of. Feelin' scared

We can't stop. We just want to do it over and over again. It creeps into our thoughts and conversations. We plan the next time we are doing it. We even get our friends to join us so that we don't do it alone! It's taking over our lives!

We're addicted to...

BOARD GAMES!

It's not totally what you think. It's not like we get our fix by staying in our homes or by playing with seedy people in dark allys. We do go out to board game cafes and interact with the public. Although, we have now gone 3 times in the past week and we have no plans to stop. We could stop if we wanted to, though. We just don't want to stop. But we could go cold turkey at the drop of a dime. Really, we could.

Sometimes she looks like this if I don't play nicely.

What? You don't believe me? Ok, just because the people that work in the board cafes know us, it does not mean we have a problem. Also, just because we almost always stay until closing doesn't mean anything. It also doesn't mean anything that we stay for so long that they usually end up giving us free drinks as well. I know, I know; you think they're our enablers in this whole addiction. But don't call them that. They're just being friendly, ok?

Ok, ok. We can stop we can do it, I swear. Just let me do it again next weekend. Just once. Well, maybe a couple times after that, but then it's really over. I swear.

Now, where did I put those Uno cards?

February 01, 2010 Alexander Leach: Just don't get Cities and Knights...that's the harder stuff right there.

February 01, 2010 Kyle: It's actually Settlers of Catan, which is the best game ever.

February 01, 2010 Olivia: Oh my goodness. We were just talking about Settlers of Catan (with great enthusiasm) this weekend, lamenting that buying it here would be W50,000. Didn't occur to me to go to a board game cafe!

February 02, 2010 Bessie: Our friend taught us how to play about a month ago, and we just can't stop now! It's soooo fun! A friend is thinking about buying it though - in the hours we've spent playing it, we've definitely spent over W50,000. Looking forward to connecting with you soon!

February 03, 2010 Jen: We love Settlers of Catan! We just need to find dorky people in New Jersey to play it with!

February 03, 2010 Kyle: Ya, it's too bad it takes 3-4 people. It's hard to find nerds sometimes who will admit that they like playing it.

February 03, 2010 Adrienne: I have heard of this game - now I need to go out and buy it. My boyfriend and I also LOVE board games.

February 04, 2010 Jen: If you are in search of a dorky game for 2, Agricola can be played with 2-5 :) Unfortunately, I am really bad at it :(

February 24, 2010 Linda: As parental units, we probably need to confess....on Oprah, of course..... that the beginnings of Bessie's addiction can probably be traced to those family gatherings filled with Clue, Monopoly, Pictionary, Scattegories, Madlib, etc. If you suddenly find that you can't live without a good jigsaw puzzle, come home quickly, before its too late!
