Code Names Chaos and Coup Confusion at Asheville Pizza Co.

Last Monday night, the Asheville Bored Game Geeks descended upon the hallowed halls of Asheville Pizza Co. on Merrimon Avenue for another epic showdown. The air was thick with anticipation as old friends reunited and new faces joined the fray. Let’s dive into the chaotic fun!

Code Names: A Spymaster’s Nightmare

The night kicked off with a triple threat of Code Names. Arthur, the other Arthur (let’s call him Arthur II), Stephen, Todd, Jennah, Carol, and Jeff Copley were thrown into a whirlwind of espionage and deduction. It was a classic case of friendly fire as teammates struggled to decipher cryptic clues without accidentally revealing the assassin.

The first game was a blur of accusations, wild guesses, and the occasional, “I knew that!” shouted in mock frustration. Todd, with his uncanny ability to read minds (or at least, make lucky guesses), led his team to victory. But the real star of the show was Arthur II, whose attempts at giving subtle clues often veered into the realm of abstract art. “Red things!” he once exclaimed, pointing at a card. The ensuing chaos was legendary, with the team guessing everything from “tomato” to “communist revolution.”

Game two saw a resurgence from Jennah, whose strategic mind and calm demeanor helped her team dominate. But it was in the third game that the tables turned. Carol, usually known for her sweet demeanor, transformed into a ruthless spymaster. Her clues were so precise and her team so in sync, they guessed the entire board in record time, leaving their opponents dumbfounded.

Coup: A Palace Full of Lies

After the whirlwind of Code Names, the group switched gears for a more cutthroat affair – Coup. Ude, Devora, Todd (who clearly enjoys the spotlight), Evan, Chester, Robert, and Gus entered the treacherous world of diplomacy and deceit.

The first game was a classic back-and-forth, with players carefully calculating their moves and bluffing their way to victory. Ude, a seasoned Coup player, was the early front-runner, but a well-timed assassination by Devora sent him packing. In the end, it was Todd who emerged triumphant, his poker face and quick thinking proving to be a deadly combination.

The second game was a rollercoaster of emotions. Alliances were formed, broken, and reformed with dizzying speed. Chester, usually a mild-mannered soul, transformed into a ruthless power player, ruthlessly eliminating opponents. However, it was Robert who ultimately claimed the throne, his ability to read the room and anticipate his opponents’ moves proving to be the key to his success.

All in all, it was another unforgettable night of laughter, friendly competition, and questionable decision-making. The Asheville Bored Game Geeks are already looking forward to the next showdown!
