Games That Are Not Fun
Life should be fun, but other people are not characters in a game. People do not feel the same way you do about things, nor do they see the world through your eyes. In fact, they're probably not over analyzing you quite as much as you imagine they are. It might be nice if they saw your point of view, but don't count on it. You'll never have fun playing that game unless you stop playing. The more natural you allow yourself to feel around other people, the more natural your life will become. Often the game is only in your own mind, anyway. You'll usually discover that you're the only one playing, that other people don't even know your game exists, and that it's actually quite silly to continue on in such a manner. In fact, it wasn't even all that fun to play in the first place, was it?

No Calvinball?
Um, games that are fun to play:
Football.
Basketball (maybe).
Baseball (maaaybe).
Tennis (if you're really bored, and mostly want to shmooze).
Golf (see above).
More serious, in the type that you're talking about that you didn't mention yet:
Dudo. Quandary.
Yipes! How could I have forgotten?! It's fixed now.
Btw, your first five fall under the category of "sports," which is there. :)
Football - yes
Basketball - maybe
Baseball - yes, depending.
Tennis - if you're bored or if you're old and rich.
Golf - UGH. Most boring sport EVER.
You forgot hockey - that gets a yes from me!
Never heard of Dudo or Quandary.
I did not forget hockey.
Sports is too vague. You could write "board games", too.
Dudo is fun, you can easily play with friends and all you need is dice and hands. Quandary you'd have to find.
Tennis is NOT BORING!
Tennis itself is not, but you have to be bored to want to play. You might see people stop everything to play football - but tennis? I just can't picture the same roar: "Tennis? YEAH! Let's GO! Woof woof!! Woo!! TEN-NIS!!"
squige?
mao?
mafia?
Dudo?!...::shakes head in dismay:: you mean Liars Dice!!

What are you saying about this blog, G, huh?
G - Squidge isn't bad; Mao is the most annoying game ever; dunno what Mafia is; and YES! But I never played it until Dudo, so that's what I know it by.
Man, I'd love to play you in that one. :)
[And LOL on the implication.]
Only special people get to play Squidge.
Btw, this is Mafia. There are many variations but this seems to be the one most similar to the way I know how to play.
"Mafia (also called Assassin, Werewolf or Village) is a group role playing game of strazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Settlers of Cataan

Clue
Phase 10 - also a good game for more than 4 people
