TWENTY-TWO
SILLY GAMES by E.D. Silly
1. 4 or more players sit round in a circle. The player nearest the one next to him deals. Whilst the deal is going on the other players have to impersonate either General Franco or any member of the P.L.F. (Palestine Liberation Front).
Each player has 7 cards, apart from the eldest one who has 9 and the other 3, who have 6. Then the player nearest the one who last went to the lavatory runs out of the room, taking his cards with him and goes to see a film. The next player must either go and see a film as well or, if he has a Jack, Queen or King of any Black suit, he must go to the pub. The 2 remaining players can either go to the pub or go to see a film.
The Winner is the one nearest the mantlepiece.
2. The Francis of Assisi Game
The player pretending to be Francis of Assisi deals 6 cards to each player. They all then see who can remain motionless longest. The first player to move then becomes Francis of Assisi.
3. Drabble
A word game for 2 to 4 players. The four players sit from left to right and the first person to write a novel wins.
One of the many reasons why I love the Monty Python team.
