Lazy Day Games?

AlterEgo

You know when your over at a friends and you are just sitting around doing nothing but you want to be doing something, but no-one has any ideas.Well i've always thought the most fun/funny are those simple games that people just bring up at quiet moments,you know; Card games, word games and the like. Well can anyone fill me in on some that can keep you entertained for a few minutes. Even things like the word association game on this very board. You know what i mean?

How about Alphabetical News Headlines? That game is sodding great! It's were you take the letter A and say something like, "Angry", then you take the letter B and say, "Bras", and then the letter C, "Consume", and then the letter D, "Dancing", and then E, "Elephants.
So you give a headline such as this:

Angry bras consume dancing elephants.

See? It's really fun until you get to Z, it really is a good game.

Or you could play that game were someone says a word and you then say the first word that comes into your head (note: this game is only fun when the words have some relation to the previous word, ie. you couldn't say "HIPPO" after someone says "NAZI")

I hope I have helped in your conquest for simple, yet fun, games.:D

Can't beat a good game of rock,paper,scissors

The Beer Baron

We used to play a really sad game with the TV remote trying to get one sentence from one chanell to go into the next on another one- the results were often hilarious. That was in my friends house of course- I only got RTE so it's not nearly as funny.

What you need is Texas Hold'em Poker. The best game in the world and great to play with friends - get good and you can win a few quid off them too.

Get over to the poker forum for some tips and guides for rules etc - check out the poker links section for all you need.

The band name game.
Name a band
eg. Nirvana
the next person names a band beginning with the last letter of the previous band
eg. Air - ramones - snow patrol, etc etc.

starts off easy but gets hard pretty quick

you could do it with famous names, books etc

Or go through the alphabet and do Songs, Albums and Bands beginning with the letters.

Play pain games. we do these in classes or at friends houses. get a lead or ruler and smack each other untill someone gives in/bleeds. i have a few marks on my arm from playing this in physics the other day.

Rock paper scissors is very good. Slapsies or handsies is good.

Slapsies - the one where you hold you hand together like you were praying but with fingertips outwards, then the other person slaps your hands. if you move them out of the way and he misses you get to hit him. if you dont move, or if you move and he dummies he gets to keep hitting you.

Handsies - put your hand out like you were giving each other five, then the other person smacks it as hard as they can, then you do the same until someone quits. i got a blister from this game.

roffle

That reminds me of episodes of South Park where they play the game where they kick each other in the nuts.

Try holding your breath and see who can last the longest.

Or see who can hold their hands our straight above their shoulders the longest.

Stupid, but fun. And you get to show how tough you are!

Russian Roulette. It's exciting, got a thrill factor, there will always be a winner, and - after a while - you won't have to worry about entertaining your friends.

i know that was a joke but i've always thought about playing some non-lethal form of that game. eg: a cap gun with a single cap, spin the barrel, pass it...(then if it fires you fake die)
i'd say it'd work best if everyone was drunk/stoned/really good at pretending

...just an idea like.

I've seen a version of that (can't remember where)

It involves a six pack of beer (depending on how many are playing, you may need more cans) and one person, not taking part, shakes the life out of ONE of the cans while everybody else has their back turned.

Then the "contestants" take it in turns to open a can.....beside their head!

Dunno if it's any good, just seen it done on TV I think

DUDE i still have scars on my knuckles from that game

superconor

yeh good thread!

Another idea i thought of for the russian roulette one is get a low powered B.B gun and a Dice. Choose a number and roll the dice. if the dice lands on the number you chose you shoot yourself in the leg.

What about having an easter themed game with a nailgun and a cross?

Deadstar

Some of my sick (and I mean sick) friends once pranked the Samatrians, they were lucky, they got a newbie...

They had gotten a pie a cap gun and then called the Samies, one guy Midg (I know its a girl's name but he's an exception) talked to the newbie for half an hour, saying that he was going to kill himself and the guy on the other end begged him not to, then Midg roared something like, "F**K! I'M GONNA DO IT!", he pulled the trigger of the cap gun and one of the other guys threw the pie against the fridge. The Samie was freaking out, then one of the other guys screamed out, "WHAT THE HELL? MIDG?! OH MY GOD!!!", he then grabbed the phone and screamed into it, "WHO THE F**K IS THIS?! WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM?! JEEZ, THERE'S BLOOD EVERYWHERE- but he got cut off because the others just started ****ting themselfs laughing.

It's a great, if slightly twisted, game!

That's mature, until you hear that some one has actually killed them selves.

Grow up.
