YSaC, Vol. 1605: The only winning move is not to pay

Bored Games ALL PIECES IN BOX ( most used 1 to 2 times) – $4



Bored games in Excellent condition. All were played only 1 or 2 times except battle of the sexes.

4.00 each or all for 15.00.

The games are bored? We should entertain them. Possibly by engaging in some sort of activity. I’m sure I’ll think of SOME sort of family friendly activity we could engage in.

I am impressed, however, that this person has actually kept track of how many times each individual piece in every game has been used. Other than the sheet I made my sister sign whenever she took the Scotty dog, I’ve never been that careful about tracking statistics for game pieces.

Thanks for the post, sd!

    It’s not the games that are bored, but I think I know why they were played only 1-2 times.

    I understand why they would play Battle of the Sexes more that once. After all, this game has two pure strategy Nash equilibria.

    If I was only played with 1 or 2 times, I’d be bored as well.

    Oh, look, the corners are stocked with bored gamers!

      It doesn’t actually say Battle of the Sexes was played more than once or twice…in fact it doesn’t say it was played at all. Perhaps this is why someone (or something) is bored. And anyway, isn’t “bored” another way of saying “scr…..” oh, nevermind………

        I think the meaning you are looking for is “drilled” using some sort of rigid, penetrating, tool–ah, look, corner has turkafternoon delight . . .

    These games are so bored they’re filled with self loathing and cannot even tell us what they are. But at least they’re good at math.

    How about a nice exciting game of Chess? Tic-Tac-Toe? Global Thermonuclear Warfare?

          And that movie (and us) are now so old, that the computing power in the huge WOPR console probably would fit inside of one of those game boxes today.

          Hm.

          Pardon me, I need to go teach Siri to refer to me as Doctor Falken.

      It’s old, the technology is laughably ancient, and Ally Sheedy, but that movie still scares the crap out of me. Kind of like the questions I have about Sparky’s use of the Battle of the Sexes game.

    I don’t wanna know how many times Spark &co. played Battle of the Sexes. I don’t wanna open that box, either. Tits aside, that box can’t possibly hold anything worth risking a strong prescription of penecillin.

      However, should that box indeed actually hold non-aside tits, then we’re in a whole different realm of sanitization that is needed.
      (Do I see the name D. Morgan scrawled on the side of that box?)

    Not that I’m bored yet, but I have a very important question that needs a thoughtful answer.

    Exactly what kind of sex is such that we must battle over it?

    Sex inside a Trojan Rabbit.

    Horny sex might just blow you away.

    Hot ninja sex, if you can find your partner.

        Hot ninja sex is only good for the guys because it’s over before you realize you’ve been had.

        Sorry, but MissMommy wanted a hot ninja joke so we had a quick one.

          That’s usually how it is for most women, ninja partner or not. Ba-dum-dum. I’ll be in the corner.

    Why would you need a board game version of “I’ve Never” or “Would You Rather?” That’s more of random questions you ask your friends when you’re hanging out and things get dull.

    So what’s new on Thursday? C””J is in the box! W00t! Watch where you step, girl, the puppy was in there for two days. He’s a good dog, but he’s learned to hide things in unexpected places. Don’t change the station on the couch radio.
