Here's How you Play
The following is a list of games that we play regularly on Grand Manan. Each game is special and has a lot of memories attatched to it. The authors for each game are listed below but a special thanks goes out to Tim Branscombe and Darren Croswell for helping to make a list of games like this a reality. This game list will continue to expand as our creativity does. The great thing about these games is most of them require few supplies and very little set up time. These are ideal for youth groups, parties and nursing homes excursions. Have fun and feel free to comment about the games you've played and how they have changed your life. WARNING!!!!!! Play these games at your own risk!! Some games listed below are not safe to be played by humans. So don't.

Rule # 3 It is the perogative of the person who asked to also ask why a certain choice was made.
Examples: Pepsi or Coke. *Answer Pepsi because it does not contain animal urine.
Cyanide or Candy. * Answer Cyanide because both will kill you but cyanide is less tempting to eat.
* answers may vary

Game # 30 (I'm not allowed to post the title of this game)
I'm also not allowed to list the rules of this game or tell you anything about it. It was a game I invented one night but Tim tells me I invented it with a bitter heart and therefore am not allowed to release it to the world.

Game # 41 Laura Lookalike Stories.
Multiplayer Game
Rule # 1 Write a story about someone or something that looks like Laura Mitchell and post it on her site. (http://www.lormitch.blogspot.com/)
Rule # 2 Towski can't play.
Emily Bass had a contest recently ranking the best stories and here was the winner:
Ok Emily this is for you. I was watching the Incredible Hulk last night and as I gazed at the huge green mass on my screen I couldn't help but wonder who flicked a booger on to my screen and why is it so huge and green. Rather than clean it off I shut off my TV and went instead into the kitchen where much to my surprise I saw her: Laura. That's right Laura Secord herself was written on the box of chocolates that was before my eyes. I ate one and then proceeded into the bathroom. I opened up the medicine cabinet door and then shut it again. I repeated this process several times until my wrist began to hurt. Where could she be I thought to myself. I've searched high and I've searched low but I can't find her anywhere. Then she was right in front of me. I chased her into the bedroom and on to my bed but Rajah is pretty fast for a cat. I grew tired of chasing her and lay down and went to sleep. Soon after I began to dream. My dream was the story of a beautiful princess named Maura Litchell. She had fallen in love with a handsome prince by the name of Mob Reeks. The story had great detail and a killer soundtrack but in the end Mob boiled Maura and used the broth to create a skin cream that made him millions of dollars. I awoke with a start and gazed into the mirror by my bed. As I stared into the face looking back at me I realized that my morning disheveled look made me look exactly like Laura Mitchell. Why oh why did I get that botox?

Game # 45 The Fun Death Game
Multiplayer Game
Rule #1 People who are not willing to play this game all the time are not allowed to participate.
Rule #2 To kill someone all you have to do is run your finger across their throat.
Rule #3 When you are dead you must play dead for 10 seconds before you recover.
This game is funner than it sounds (I know funner isn't a real word) In large groups this is a crazy game. I personally like moving the bodies around before they are allowed to recover.
