I've decided that I like playing games. Games like Taboo, Catch Phrase, Such and Such, Buzz Word, and other such games that usually involve cards, a timer, and much yelling (game-related yelling, not angry yelling). I wouldn't call them board games because they usually don't involve a board like Monopoly or Scrabble, and board games are entirely different in style and level of fun ($fun = 0). There's a subset of the aforementioned type of game that I would classify as "get to know you" games. While any game can be a good chance to get to know the people you're playing with, certain games serve that purpose only, and game content suffers dramatically. Apples to Apples, for example, is a meaningless game that's completely subjective. There's no right answer. I've come to terms with the fact that the point of playing games like this has nothing to do with winning. It doesn't even matter if you keep score. The purpose of such games is to yell, laugh, have fun with friends, and spend time with people. Winning helps though. #psychology
