Christmas




The FP Gal detailed our Christmas day already. At the end of her post she mentioned that I got an awesome gift this year (and she's right!). It's something straight from my childhood and I could hardly be more excited about it.
It's 'Crossbows & Catapults', a game designed for 8 year old boys. The idea is simple. Two players each create a castle made of plastic blocks. Then you take turns knocking them down with plastic disks flung by rubber band driven weapons.
It's tremendous fun! The FP Gal and I played a couple of games. Even her Mom got into the act and took some shots. Surprisingly, her Dad resisted but we'll get him to play next time.

One of the best games ever made. Any game where you get to physically launch things at your opponent is a great gift, but this one especially.

Glad to hear your Christmas went so well!
