Just Because You’re Losing

“This is the dumbest game ever,” Vala pouted. The team was gathered at Cameron’s for another bonding night. “There’s no real skill, it’s just luck.”

“You’re just upset because you’re losing,” Daniel said with a smug grin.

“And what’s with these plastic things,” she asked, holding up her red playing piece. “What’s it suppose to represent?”

“It’s a playing piece,” Buffy said. “It’s just something you move around the board.”

“Why can’t we play that last game again?” She asked, putting the piece back on the game board.

“What? Clue?” Cameron asked.

“Yes, that one. It actually required skill.”

“You won four times in a row,” Daniel said with a roll of his eyes. “That’s the only reason why you want to play again.”

“Well why else would you play a game?”

“Just to have fun,” Buffy said, moving her blue piece five spaces.

“But you’re all ganging up on me. How is that supposed to be fun for me?” Vala pouted again.

“It isn’t, but it’s fun for us,” Daniel grinned. He flipped over a card and his grin got bigger. He knocked Vala’s one playing piece off the board and replaced it with one of his green ones. “Sorry.”

“No you’re not, bastard,” she said, returning her red piece to start. “Stupid game.”



(I hope everyone recognized the game. If not, it’s an old Milton Bradley game called Sorry. I loved it when I was growing up.)

Go Daniel! Though you better enjoy the brief moment while it lasts, handsome. At least he nows knows of one way to get to her, though.

How much do I love they're playing boardgames? And Sorry! There may be a copy in the basement somewhere, actually...

I got the whole idea over Christmas break. I actually spent an hour or so playing several rounds with my husband and sister. The hubby never won and he complained the entire time about it and wanted to change games. The sister kept going on about how it was a game of luck, not skill.

Poor Daniel, won't get another chance like that for a while. :)
