Has anybody ever heard of the game called Bang? For those of you who haven't it's a card game that pits outlaws against sheriffs and there's a renegade who is trying to outlive them all. You shoot each other with Bang cards and if you don't have a card that makes the shooter miss you then you lose a life point. You can get your life points back, though, if you can find yourself some beer.
All of that is fun but what really makes the game great is that it requires teamwork. The outlaws have to band together, the sheriff and his deputes have to stop the outlaws and the renegade has to play both sides in order to survive.
My brother bought it on Saturday and we've been playing it exclusively for the last three days. I think we better take a break before the obsession turns to madness.
Sometimes when I'm writing I start to yearn for a teammate, someone who will help me out when I'm stuck, cheer me on when I doubt myself and point me in the right direction when I'm feeling lost. But writing is by nature a lonely pursuit and so I plug along by myself.
I'm just glad that when I finish my writing goals for the day I can crawl out of my basement and go play games with the people I love.
