Epic Win: Toss Across

Oct. 12, 2009

Once Upon A Win

Submitted by M Bailey, Tic-Tac-Toe champion

The true story behind the creation of Toss Across:

I’ve got this great idea.

Okay…

So what’s everyone’s favorite game of all time?

I don’t know. Monopoly? Risk

No, of ALL TIME!

Slow down, Kanye. Uh, chess? Checkers? Backgammon?

Who the **** likes Backgammon? Nobody plays Backgammon. Backgammon is ****ing stupid.

Okay, I get it: you don’t like Backgammon—

The correct answer was Tic-Tac-Toe.

Fine. What about Tic-Tac-Toe?

Now, what is everyone’s favorite thing to do?

(long sigh) Just tell me.

Lobbing beanbags at a target.

What? This already sounds like the worst idea ever.

No, just listen. If you combine Tic-Tac-Toe with lobbing beanbags, what do you get?

Hollywood Squares? But with the ability to hurl something at Whoopi when she’s not funny? That’s genius!

You’re getting warmer…

I liked this commercial more than I enjoyed playing the game. In case you’re wondering what the lyrics are, I’ve transcribed them for you:

It’s sometime in the future…
the ultimate challenge…
CROSSFIRE!

CROSSFIRE!
you’ll get caught up in the
CROSSFIRE!

[enter bass line]

CROSSFIRE!
you’ll get caught up in the
CROSSFIRE!

CROSSFIRE!
CROSSFIRE!
CROSSFIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRREEEEE!

Epic Win: KerPlunk

Aug. 17, 2009

Submitted by Matt S

KerPlunk was a lot like Jenga: take turns removing the sticks, but trying not to let the marbles fall. It actually predates Jenga by a decade and a half, though.

Now, does anyone know how to turn it into a drinking game?

Epic Win: Jenga

Aug. 11, 2009

jenga

Submitted by Picture Pocket

Here’s how to turn Jenga into a drinking game: write things on the bottom sides of the Jenga blocks; when each player pulls out a block, they have to do whatever is written on it — drink, pick someone to drink, waterfall, ten fingers… you’re only limited by your imagination and desire to get hammered.

Oh yeah, and the person who knocks over the whole stack has to drink ten beers. Sorry, that’s just the way it goes.

Juniper Jupiter sez:

You know what was REALLY fun? Doing the “Jenga Face” on purpose when the tower came down.

My brother-in-law and I noticed on the box how the whole family’s faces looked like they were in mock terror as their tower went down, and we realize that NOBODY does that face for real, so we decided to do the “Jenga Face” when one of us knocked down the tower to mess with people.

That was fun!
