Still sick as a dog, I seem to be getting worse, boo. So of course I traipsed downtown to celebrate my father in law’s birthday at Snakes and Lagers. For those of you not in the GTA or not familiar with Snake and Lagers or their brother shop, Snakes and Lattes, they are these awesome shops filled with board games. Snakes and Lattes is a coffee shop where you sit and play board games to your heart’s desire. Snakes and Lagers is the same thing, only with beer instead of coffee. It is awesome. If you are in the GTA, I highly recommend you check either place out.
Now, I’m sick, my wife is sick, and my in laws are sick. Before De and I left the house, we both made a carry travel mug of tea, just in case. It was an hour and a half subway ride downtown, but when we got there our teas were still too hot to drink. My mother in law tried to order a cup of tea, but they didn’t have any and the only warm drink they had was mulled wine (which was delicious! XD), but she doesn’t like mulled wine. De and aisling to the rescue! After getting mugs for the tables, she shared her Opposites Attract with her mom, and I shared my Blueberry Jam with my sister in law. After I poured my mug of Blueberry Jam, I ordered a shot of Wild Turkey to make a hot toddy.
It was the most delicious thing I have ever had…and it helped me keep my voice through another round of games. This tea is amazing and I am having it again tonight with a shot of Jack Daniels Honey. The blueberry goodness smooths out the edge of the whiskey and it is the best hot toddy ever.

what did you play!?!
We played Wits and Wagers (which kinda sucked), Say Anything, Timeline, and Anomia. The last two were awesome, but Anomia takes a lot of shouting, I ended up sitting out the last round. It was a ton of fun, though! You can find a list (and description) of all their games on their website: www.snakesandlagers.com
just like to hear about other people’s gaming experiences. we’ve been to both locations before…as well as a few others cropping up in the city. I still prefer gaming at home, but it’s a good way to try out games before we buy them haha
nods I prefer home gaming as well, but the in laws are much more outgoing. But hey, it’s on their dime, so why not? I whole heartedly recommend Anomia and Timeline.
Today we played Descent and Ticket to Ride Nordic countries.
I’ll have to look in to those two. i think we’ve picked timeline up a few times just not purchased it.
I love Ticket to Ride and Settlers of Cattan is great if you’ve got the time.
Apparently my roommate has Anomia. Now that I’ve heard a positive recommendation for it, I’m interested in cracking it out. My go-to games are Carcassonne and Dominion right now, but we’ve been playing anything but lately! (Shadows over Camelot, Robo Rally, and Bang! were yesterday’s picks).
