This is a group for people who like to play party games that promote fun, socializing, and laughing. Some examples would be Pictionary, Taboo, Outburst, Guesstures, Apples to Apples, etc. This really isn't a group for the serious, complex, strategic type games.

The sticks are short -- about one foot long -- so players can move them quickly through the water. Sticks flick and flash as players maneuver the puck on the bottom, shoot the puck past (or over …
