we spend lots of time in the car these days. heading back and forth between each other houses, out to get some coffee, visit friends, drop each other off somewhere or finding some adventure.
we're off to barnes and noble in the picture above so i can read twilight and not pay 11.99 for it and so he could do his homework while i'm occupied. we were just looking to burn time before heading to his sister's for some pizza goodness.
funny story:
we found stratego for $9.00 at barnes and noble instead of the original price which was $29.99. it was 75% off! but this is a "collectors edition" so the pieces are "special" and are basically just shapped like upright dominoe pieces and behave like upright dominoe pieces. they fall down. we've played it twice now and each time, after an hour into the game, one of us will knock down our own flag with our sleeve or something and totally ruin the game. If any of you have played this game you know the whole game is played around trying to find that flag. it's very not great. it's of the upmost importance that stratego pieces are stable and stand upright the entire time so the other person has no idea where your players are. it's very sad because it's both of our most favorite game and have such a good time playing it.
so now we're looking online for the regular stratego pieces so they'll stand up and we can have a decent game. if you have an old game your not using anymore, consider sending us your great plastic pieces! we'd be very pleased!
the ones we want.
