Oh, fun…
Calvinball in board game form, perhaps?
When a boardgame needs pads and a helmet, you know it’ll be fun. 8D
I’ve always wanted to take all the pieces from my family’s board games, mix them together, stack all the boards, and figure out a way to turn it into Calvinboard. Maybe take turns making/drawing wacky rule cards or something.
Not entirely on topic, but in Mughal India, the rulers would use their slaves to play a live-action version of Parcheesi (or Pachisi) and there are still full-size pachisi boards in surviving palaces. Wikipedia has more information, for the curious.
I’d like the rules for Llewellyn house rules Parcheesi please
There isn’t enough space on your hard-drive
As anyone who follows this comic would likely be able to attest to.
That’s not even a Parcheesi board they were using, that’s how different it is.
43 man squamish predates calvinball.
I love the print font used for when Llewellyn speaks. I know the font, I just can’t remember what it’s called.
It’s similar to some Gothic fonts, but it doesn’t really have a name — Dana hand-lettered most strips, and the ones that aren’t hand-lettered use a font based on her calligraphy.
