Looking to make something new and not tired. If you've got any suggestions of new games you've picked up somewhere, feel free to share. So far I've got/built Slider Jarts (the real deal, lethal kind ), Kubb, box version of Washers, plank version of Washers, Life Size Jenga, and Beersbee. Not interested in crummy games like Bean Bags/Cornhole or Ladder Golf...
One of these days I'll take a picture of the collection.

How can you like Washers but not Cornhole? They're basically the same thing. Kubb is fun. Would really like to try Life Size Jenga.

Not sure. Probably because I've played too much of Cornhole. Ya, Kubb is a blast if you've got a while. Everyone that I've introduced it to in the last couple years loves it.
Jenga is great, though. We use it as a drinking game. Comes up to about my chest (I'm 6'1") before it starts getting really wobbly. Makes for quite the crash down. (I'll snap a picture of it when I can.)

Do you make most of your games on your own? What are the rules of drinking Jenga- knock it over and finish your drink?
Ya, I make all my games. Usually from plans I find online with my own tweaks. As for how we play it as a drinking game, there's various things written on the flat portions that aren't visible before you slide the piece out. Like the usual "take" "give", as well as some other things. Knocking it over results in finishing drink, retrieving everyone a new drink if they need one, and restacking it.

I want to play. Realistically, how long did it take to make and how much were the supplies?

Not going to lie, it was tedious. Mostly because I went with standard pine lumber to keep the cost down. Then I sanded every piece down with a belt sander. Then polyurethane'd everything so it slid well.
I forgot all my calculations of how I did everything but I believe I actually went with several 2x3's, cut to length. I then just stacked everything until it was at a good enough size. Then made a small base to stack it on so it was off the ground a tad. Believe I spent around $40ish. Not certain.
If you're interested, I'll look at it sometime this weekend and post some measurements and pictures.
I know this is pretty disgusting but the last couple days I've had some blood in my stool. It's weird though because there wasn't any earlier today when I "went" but now there is again (and quite a bit too). If it happens one more time I think I'm forced to go see a doctor about it. Hopefully it's not cancer.

Ugh. Last night the GF brought home DQ Blizzards and stuck them in the freezer. We didn't feel like eating them after dinner, so we just left them overnight. Now I want to eat mine and the ****ing spoon is stuck inside. Now I have to go get another damned spoon.

Would be appreciated if you did. Looked up a couple sets on eBay, they're around $90 after shipping yet they're only to your waist if it starts on the ground. I am willing to put in the work anyhow. My girlfriend would freak over this game.
