SkeTch3s: Game Cafe (CarCaSean was it?? )

Well now, while i was in KL, my friends had begun posting stuff about this new place that they had been hanging out at... at first i was curious, and therefore definitely asked them to take me there when i got back... well, being the nice people that they are, they agreed to take me there the moment i got back to KK... ^^ Thanx so much Ah Teh.. it was great seeing some old familiar faces...

Okay, when i first got there, i didn't know what on earth was going on... A few of them were already playing games, and i was just too lazy to read the instructions... they're so LONG!! >.<

Well, this game is called walk the dog... and while i don't know how it works exactly, i do know that the objectives involve collecting the most different doggy breeds... and i just love those figurines... ^^

Due to the unavailability of normal chairs and sofas because of the crowd, my friends had decided to sit on the floor with short 'Japanese' tables... it was fun for awhile, but by the end of the day, most of us had somehow contracted various back problems which we never knew we had... LOLX..

While the patrons are allowed to play as many games as they want, and stay till closing time, there IS, however, a minimum order per person of RM4.50... so... just order a drink and be done with it... and so, I ordered an ice cream... which is soooo bad for my waistline.. but ah well...

Miki's half eaten ice cream...

Someone else's ice cream.. mine started off like that too, with toppings and all, but by the time i took a pic of it, i had eaten off all the good parts.. >.<

Well, later in the night, Gregory had taught me how to play a card game called 'Bang!!', where i had used the line " I bang u!!" too many times, only realizing much later that it sounded oh so wrong... >.<

These are some of the cards... the Character Cards and also the pile in the middle... see how the name is "BANG!!" ? hahaha... okay, Bang! is a card game, set in the wild west, where the players assume roles and characters, each with their own objectives, but all the while concealing their identities, except for the Sheriff... therefore the Sheriff needs to be careful about who he 'bangs' as there is a penalty for slaying his own deputy... >.<
I would like to note that the word "BANG!!" refers to the sound made when a shot if fired, and nothing else in any other context... =.=" ( i can tell what half of u are thinking... hmmm.)

These are some of the cards which demonstrate your roles...

Next, i was taught to play a game called Ubongo!! and seriously, i love this game, though it can, at times, be utterly frustrating... >.< perhaps playing such a game sharpens your IQ, i don't know...

These are the gems which you are supposed to collect. The objective is to collect the most of the same colour by the time the game is over... the catch is, you can only take the first two gems in a line... and exactly how many steps your piece can move to change lines depends on how fast you solve the IQ-piece-fitting-puzzle....

Put simply, a dice is rolled (and a 3-minute hourglass started simultaneously) and each symbol on the dice corresponds to a series of pieces which you will need to use in order to fill in the shape on the card... this can be very frustrating.. very very... and after succeeding in this, you will then utter "UBONGO!!" and move your piece according to the order in which the puzzle was solved among the players, and take your gems... All this in 3 minutes... yes, it can be a mad rush for time, but the adrenaline rush is half the fun... ^^

Kwong trying to help Zuexiant solve one of the puzzles... ^^

Well, overall i found it to be a nice experience... and it was a most enjoyable night... seeing old friends would be half the fun... ^^
