The Bottoms Game - or, It's got spikes all over it
It's my turn to blog for Gone Gaming and I haven't prepared anything, I'm afraid. I've been immersed in work deadlines, problems with my parents' health and Otto's fourth birthday party.
Gratuitous photo:
We did manage to play a game last night.
For her birthday, I bought her a game called Picco Popolino, published by Selecta. A friend suggested that it might have come from the Special Shop for Warped Parents, known only to me. I don't think it's that bad, although it's pretty odd.
The game components are two sets of discs with pictures of animals. The small discs have pictures of animals' heads. The larger discs have pictures of an animal's head on one side, and its bottom on the other side.
To play the game, the big discs are laid out face down on the table, and the small discs are placed in a face-down pile (or just face-down in the box). Players take it in turns to draw a small disc and then describe the animal. The other player(s) try to identify which bottom belongs to the animal that is being described.
So, Otto and I took it out last night and played. Two-player, it's more about turn-taking and describing things - but I was surprised by some of the descriptions. See if you can identify which animal she is talking about.
1. It's green and it loves to jump and it's got spikes all over it.
2. It's pink and it's got a squeezy tail ... it's a farm animal.
3. It's silver, like the mouse is silver, cos the elephant is silver ... oops
4. It's white and black and it likes to MOO! MOO!
5. It's brown and it likes to wave its tongue out and it likes to wave its big floppy ears.
6. It is silver and it likes to stick its tail out and it is a ... it likes to eat fishies.
7. It is silver and it likes to (trumpeting noise). It's big and it's an elephant.
8. It likes to wave its tail and it likes to eat meatballs or play with a ribbon.
9. It's got a tall neck and it likes to eat leaves from the trees and d'you know what it is?
Answers later in the week, in comments.
Betcha don't get all nine!

Games in Rhyme
He travels all over Europe
Rarely leaving a clue.
Will you be able to catch him
Or will he catch you?
~~~~
Fifteen islands
Placed in a ring.
He who rules the castles
Will capture the win.
To rule the castles,
You can’t play nice;
You must control Paladins
By rolling the dice.
~~~~
It’s just you and me,
Under a tree,
Watching the river flow.
It merges then turns,
We’ll soon learn
To whose side it will go.
~~~~
Quietly choose a character,
Don’t even blink.
To win, it helps to know
How your enemies think.
Build your city in yellow
Green, red, purple and blue;
The faster you build,
The better you’ll do.
~~~~
Lay your tile wherever you wish
But the roads are required to match.
If you can capture Bonus tiles,
It’s likely you’ll score a good catch.
~~~~
Your brave Knights guard the castles,
Tall and wide.
If need arises, they walk through to
The other side.
When the King visits a castle,
He gives rewards
To any Knight that he meets on the
Floor that he guards.
~~~~
I’m in a race,
I know the place
That I’m supposed to go.
How I get there,
I do not care;
A card will let me know.
You may curse
If I reverse
And go into a spin.
But have fun,
Everyone,
Even if you don’t win.
~~~~
Poetry it’s not but I hope you have fun with these rhymes. How many games can you name? Look for the answers tomorrow in the comments section.
And lastly, a quick reminder that we’re looking for guest bloggers on Sundays so all of you clever gamers with something worth saying who’d like to get your message to millions of gamers….uh, thousands of…several gamers, send your articles to gonegaming@gmail.com.
Until then, may all your camels find water.
