There's actually a board game like that

There is--or was, maybe--a game sort of like Clue where you can kill the other players. It was called 13 Dead End Drive, as I recall. All the characters were named in this guy's will, and the object was to kill each character when their picture was above the mantle. There were many methods of disposal: a falling chandelier, a falling suit of armor, a fireplace, knocking the victim down a flight of stairs, a trapdoor, etc. Very fun and very sadistic. Don't know if it's still around...

Hey... yeah! I think I used to have that game. Wonder what happened to it...

Another great game is Kill Dr. Lucky. It's sort of what happens right before Clue starts. You're in a mansion, it's the middle of the night, and the lights are out. The old man is wandering around the house, and your objective is simple: kill him before anyone else does.

I seem to remember the name, but I don't believe I ever played Dead End Drive. And Kill Doctor Lucky is one of CheapAss Games, right?

With my gaming group, the current favorite boardgamish ... um, thing, is
Apples to Apples. Hard to describe, but very fun, and best when played with a group of people you've known for a while.

Yep. 'Kill Dr. Lucky', brought to you by the same people who make 'Before I Kill You, Mr. Bond'.

And of course the same people who brought you Give Me The Brain...

Other boardgames which have shamelessly ripped off Strange Daze are Arkham Horror and Cults Across America.

Damn mind-reading satellites. Let this be a lesson to all: only use high-quality tinfoil to construct your anti-thought-control body suit. Used Arby's wrappers just don't work. (Though it does leave you covered in the refreshingly brisk scent of roast beef)

But, don't you usually crush tinfoil on an antenna to improve reception when you're getting interference? Aren't you just doing what they want? Making yourself manic... an obvious loon, unable to fit into society. It's gotta be the most obvious method of neutralizing threats out there.

After all, lead lined homes work so much better. You keep out all kinds of energy. Works great, but sometimes I think I should reinforce the structure... I mean, it'd be really embarassing to be crushed by your own
