    I have a wonderful collection of spirits and a ton of strange instruments at home. So well have a drink and then we jam a bit.

    I also might have some acid laying around if you are down for some weirder tunes.

    Depends, probably I’m going to pretend to not be home and not answer my phone.

    But if you’re someone I like, I might force you to learn the rules to French Tarot and play that. Or another trick taking game like hearts or spades. Assuming my brother is also home and we have a 3rd player.

    There’s also always music, movies, tv shows, et cetera.

    We could crochet.

    If you’re gay we could probably have sex. I’m normally down to clown.

    We could play fetch with the dogs.

    If all else fails you can play games on the Xbox while I read.

    But really, if you’re just showing the hell up with 10 minutes of warning you need to be the one with a plan here. Otherwise I’m probably going to just keep doing what I normally do and you can join in if you want.

      I didn’t realise it was “French” tarot, we just call it tarot, lol. That said it was more a game my parents would play, I don’t really know the rules myself.

        In the US (And I think most English speaking countries??) “tarot” generally refers to the divination cards people use to do readings about the future and such. “French Tarot” is the trick taking card game using the 78 card deck with the standard (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) suits+the trump suit. That said, most people in the US would have no idea what I meant if I mentioned french tarot, and would just assume I was talking about the divination cards. Lol

        It’s honestly become my favorite card game, though I’ve really only just started getting into it.

            It’s so worth getting into it you’ve got people to play with. Online play is a thing, too, but the rules are complicated enough that I had to play with physical cards a few times to really get it. I also slightly updated the rules on it and created a formula for the calculator to make it easier for folks. I didn’t so much change the rules for our home game, but updated the scoring. Normal french tarot using half point that made the math difficult for some people, so I moved the decimal and 4.5 became 45, shit like that

                If you want, I made a little rule sheet designed to printed out in tarot card size to go with the deck. It’s pretty minimal, but includes a nice formula for the calculator so you don’t have to actually do any math when tabulating scores.

                Also, pro-tip: only the takers points matter. You don’t have to calculate the scores of everyone at the table, as defenders points are literally worthless. The only thing that matters is if the taker makes their contract.

    that’s not enough warning time and I didn’t get the message, so you’ll be entertaining yourself watching the dogs in the window as I ignore the doorbell

    Boring standard screen-based stuff. I could dig out a board game if you really want, I guess.

    Maybe you’ll like my dog?

    Mario Tennis on the N64. Sorry though, we’ll need to play the clay court, as my HDMI adapter for the VGA washes all the colours and makes the ball hard to see on grass.

    I’ve got a modded Nintendo Wii which plays GameCube games and also does emulation from a large hard drive.

    I also have a ps3 with two gun controllers and Time Crisis Razing Storm combo disc (3 shooting games included). And Killzone 3 which imo, is amazing. Especially with the gun controllers.

    I also have an older xbox 360 white model with backwards compatability that still works somehow (knock on wood). So we can also play original xbox games in addition to Xbox 360 games.

    All of these hooked up to a large flat panel TV on a swivel mount. And with 2 couches. And a fake zebra rug and smart lights for ambience.

    I will entertain you with nostalgia. And couch coop or versus gaming.

    And if we get bored of games. We can watch YouTube or Netflix or whatever.

    You can entertain yourself with knocking on my door while I’ll report you to the police.
