Well, I want to share one of the games that we did play that was a huge riot that when we initially got it, I wasn't sure how it was going to land.
And this was the game of Vanity Plates from 25th Century Games.
Brandon, have you played this, seen it? I
have not, no.
Okay, so it's essentially a game where you create your own vanity plate, license plate.
Okay.
Which seems kind of like kitschy fun, right? Right.
Like, okay.
So I was like, this would be a perfect game to take to the beach with a lot of people, varying ages, easily digestible, five minutes to teach or less.
And we played and they loved it.
Particularly the age group of about... 15 to 16.
Were they sneaking in some kind of risque sort of thing?
No.
They just thought everything was hilarious.
How do you play Vanity Plate?
Well, basically, everybody gets a license plate, like a dry erase board license plate that has, I think, eight spaces for letters, but you only have to use, I think required to use six or seven of them, but it could be longer.
And what happens is everybody is then dealt out an occupation.
Like you could be a wizard or Brandon, you could be a truck driver.
I'm a truck driver.
Yeah.
Rob, you could be a college professor and I could be, um, you know, an aerial silk gymnast.
Yeah.
Okay, all right.
You and I get wizard and aerial silk gymnast.
It's a random occupation.
