Everyone who’s ever had a drink must’ve played this glorious game - Never Have I Ever!

And for those of you who haven’t had the oppurtunity, here’s your chance!

First, we round up a group of merry fools, who then send me a statement. That statement must be in the form of “Never Have I Ever done…” and it must be true. Thus my statement could be “Never Have I Ever been to Africa” (since I haven’t been there), but could not be “Never Have I Ever brushed my teeth” (since I do that every day… duh).

But to make it funnier, you try to come up with a statement that the other participants have done, so you get lots of points. Yes points\*! See, you get as many points to start with as there are contenders in the game and then for each statement you have done, you give up a point (and the one making the statement gets one instead).

Everyone savvy so far?

To make it extra fun, I say we play for three rounds, with the first round statement being worth 1 point, the second round statement being worth 3 points and the final round statement being worth…

…5 points!!!  
So who’s interested in partaking in this glorious game? And who has some questions on how to play??  
\*what we call the points can be decided later

No rush with the questions. Let’s get everyone to sign up first.

And just one statement at a time 🙂

2: IvoryTowerDenizen  
3. The New and Improved Superman

15  
…20  
And as an added bonus, which was discussed in the last game played. All players will get to answer ALL statements, and can therefore end the game in negative points (if you’re wicked).

Nah, I’m already spending too much time on _one_ game here. Not that I’m blaming you or anything, of course. Besides, why would I want to spoil a perfect record?
