1. Making dates and then standing the person up.

Boy, that's fun! :silly:

[HEyHEY]

3. Or telling them you love them then saying "GIMME SOME SPACE!"

[NightTrain]

9. Or replying to a personal ad, exchanging a dozen really intense e-mails...

...and then telling the person, "I'm not really interested in dating anyone right now. When I answered your ad, it was because I hoped friendship would be an option." And if the person gets mad at me for not telling them so right off the bat, I get all self-righteous and indignant. It's fuckin' hilarious, man!!!

8. Lots

Chess although I don't get to play it that often.
Trivia Pursuit - Hard to beat me at that one.
Then there's a card game called Set that my family and I play at gatherings. You deal out several cards then try to make sets out of three of them. Every card has four characteristics - shape, shading, color, and number of shapes on the card. You make a set by picking out three cards that have any combination of characteristics all the same and characteristics all different. For instance, a set could consist of three cards that have all ovals (same), none of the ovals' colors match (different), their shading is all solid (same), and the number of ovals on each card are different.

You yell out SET when you see one, and normally there's a mad scramble when two people yell it at the same time. As an added bonus, we've been experimenting with negative feedback by punching one of my sister's in the arm whenever she yells SET because she's never right. :)

You can play it at http://www.setgame.com

21. I picked up Carcassonne: The Castle the other day.

If anyone is looking for games that are a couple of steps outside the usual roll the die and advance a few spaces, or those Pictionary party game paradigms, German games are the way to go. Rio Grande Games is an American publisher of many of them so you don't have to put up with that pesky German language to learn how to play the games.

_Settlers of Catan_ is generally regarded as the best game of this genre to start out with. From there, any games designed by Reinier Knizia (who designed an excellent Lord of the Rings game) is usually worth a look or two.

I have a travel-sized board and a deck of cards I take everywhere.
