Yeah, we used to do a game called trainwreck, but you place a ring of
chairs facing into a circle. Someone (like the president) starts as
"it." "It" says, "I love all my brothers except those brothers wearing
________." It can modify the "wearing" to be other things.
If you are a brother sitting in the circle that "It" has identified
(wearing green socks, etc.), you get up and change seats with someone
else who gets up. In the mean time, It tries to grab an empty seat.
After several rounds of being stuck as It, It may call trainwreck during
which everyone must change seats. This game is pretty fun. You end up
with brothers sitting on brothers, etc.
Another one:
This one requires a co-ed group...unless you're REALLY open minded.
Everyone sits in a group except for the person in the middle. The
person in the middle, we'll say a male, approaches a woman, gets down on
one knee, and proposes: "Honey if you love me, won't you please please
smile." Honey must not smile, else she is it. No physical contact
(other than non-tickling hand holding) may take place, but any faces,
poses, etc. may be used. Honey must reply (again, without smiling),
"Honey, you know I love you, but I just can't smile."
When it is a female that is "it," The woman must find a guy, sit on his
lap, and say, Honey, if you love me...blah.blah...same thing.
For those chapter that enjoy doing nothing but finding the most
politically correct way of doing things:
All men and women stand, since they are totally equal. All game players
place condoms over their hands. (Condoms are in.) Male and female
"its" approach any member of the group and say, "please smile, I would
like to exchange places with you." The other person says, "I'm sorry,
while I can smile, I choose not to because I do not care to exchange
places with you." Of course without smiling....then again, people into
PC games are probably good at not smiling. :)
