Board Game Olympics: Round 3

This was my first Board Game Olympics experience and I’m looking forward to the next round (which is tomorrow… uhhh…better late than never with this review??) The last time I played Clue was with my parents’ ancient game on rainy days during summer vacation. We were missing half the pieces and using, like, a paper clip for the lead pipe and a macaroni for the candlestick. Playing with the actual game pieces was no less fun. Add the Foggy Goggle to the mix with their always awesome service and yummy apps and it was a great afternoon!

This was the first time I was able to make it out to the Board Game Olympics, and I definitely had a blast. I had a fund time playing with a few friends, hearing English accents and looking at all the costumes. I also enjoyed that there was another group of people at the Foggy Google playing games.
Can’t wait for the next round! And even though I did not win this round, I was happy I was at least able to trick someone else into thinking they knew the answer :) Muahahaha!

Round 3 of the board game olympics may have been the best yet! Clue was a great choice as it inspired costumes, old-​timey accents, and… some of us *cough* to create elaborate Murder Matrices. Ms. Peacock must be clairvoyant… or an accomplice… that is the only logical explanation for her being able to identify the killer so quickly! Stay away from candlesticks and Ballrooms in the month of April Peacock… if you know what is good for you…
Folks at the Foggy Goggle were very accommodating, providing hungry detectives with delicious fare. And as noted by others, having McAuslan cider on tap is an added bonus.
Looking forward to Round #4 already! See you all there!

round 3 of the board game olympics was a smashing success — clue and the goggle? could this afternoon get any better? the answer is no — no, it probably couldn’t have.
growing up clue was one of the only games that my family liked playing — in fact, we had two copies (it’s probably one of the only times we had two clues. pausing for your laughter … now), so I was pretty excited when I found out that was the game choice of the month. Paired with one of my favourite venues in the city + the fact that Ben had the wonderful foresight to order the Pizza Points, means it was a swell afternoon.
Can’t wait for next month, gang!

I dare say, I do love a good game of intrigue!
Getting to say phrases like that in a British accent was why I loved this third round of the board game Olympics. It had been a long time since I had played, and was happy to learn it involved a bit more strategy than I remember.
It was great to see so many people get in on the game and was great to see some costumes. I think I loved Mustard’s monocle best of all.
Pair a good game and good people with some yummy food and some bubbly cider and it made for an awesome afternoon.
Can’t wait for the next one,
Cheerio — Pip, Pip.

I am loving the Board Game Olympics, and not just because I’m doing well. I’m a total board game nerd, so I have a blast every time Unilocal does one of these.
Clue wasn’t a game I played a lot as a kid (and when I did, it seems I played incorrectly) but I had a blast playing it – mostly thanks to the fabulous costumes and hilarious character interpretations.
The Foggy Goggle was a great place, and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The food was tasty and it helps that they serve my favorite drink, McAuslan Cider!

This was my first attempt at Board Game Olympics, and I was not disappointed! I hadn’t played Clue in a very long time, but luckily I wasn’t too rusty. The Foggy Goggle was the perfect locale for an afternoon of zany boardgame fun. From the costumes to the accents to the tasty treats to the group of fun Unilocalers who showed up, it was an excellent way to wile away a few hours. Can’t wait to do it again soon!
P. S. It was Miss Scarlet in the dining room with a knife. But you didn’t hear that from me.

Confession: Before the «Clue-​lympics» I had only played Clue once before in my life.
Sure, I own the movie and am completely obsessed with it (seriously, it and Shaun of the Dead are my two «trapped on a desert island» comedies).
And, yes, it’s true, I do love a good board game.
It may also be a perfectly valid point that I, in fact, am in the possession of my own copy of the Clue board game.
…where was I? Oh yes.
If this were your introduction to Clue, you would be very fortunate indeed! Lots of players, and lots of people who were learning or re-​learning the game. Including some who were de-​learning their mistake childhood interpretations («What? We don’t just show everyone our cards?»).
What amazes me most isn’t the fun that people had (c’mon, it’s a Unilocal event, they’re always fun), the astounding costumes/​characters (c’mon, it’s the Unilocal crew), the delicious apps (c’mon, it’s the Foggy Goggle) but the fact that everyone was on time.
That shows how dedicated everyone is to making these games more fun. I didn’t manage to make it onto the board yet but I’ve got nine more months to get my name in the rankings.

YES!
After reading countless Agatha Christie books this summer I finally had the chance to act it out in real life (sort of). I only wished I did my homework beforehand and dressed accordingly as well as perfected an accent…
It was also my second time at the Foggy Goggle and it was just as good as the first!
The appetizers were delicious and the cider may be one of my new favourite drinks in the city.
I was greatly impressed by everyone’s costumes and acting. It’s not often you see 3 games of Clue going on at once!
I cannot wait until Round 4. What will it be? Risk? Charades? Candyland? The lead pipe? Miss Scarlet? The stairwell?
Only time will tell.
