Games My Roommate Plays
As I’ve mentioned before, my roommate grew up an only child in rural Ohio, and as a result, was forced to invent games to keep himself entertained. Lately, he’s been playing them in our small apartment. Here they are in no particular order in case you’d like to play them at home.
The Get Up Five In the Morning and Bang Pots Around Game
I’m not sure of the rules of this game since I’ve never actually witnessed it. I’m usually in my bedroom, seething with rage underneath my blankets, but I think the title pretty much explains it. The object of the game, from what I gather, is to get up at an ungodly hour for work, go into the kitchen next to my bedroom, and rattle pans about. Sometimes my roommate puts on his giant boots and clomps around while playing this game, but I’m not sure if you get extra points for that or what.
The Build a Small Pyramid of Cheese and Water on the Kitchen Counter Game.
I have no idea how you score points or win this particular game. All I know is that my roommate likes to play it whenever he makes himself a breakfast burrito.
The Let’s See How Long I Can Leave This Rotting Food in the Refrigerator Game
This game is one of endurance and strategy, much like Risk. Sometimes my roommate will hide rotten leftovers behind comparatively fresh dishes, so that nobody will suspect they are there. I think you win if you can keep a head of lettuce until it completely liquefies.
That’s all the games for now. As for me, I like to play the Passive-Aggressive Roommate With a Website Game. It’s sweet.
