Always find ways to irritate your opponents. In recent games, Ive seen:
The replacement of an army with a 2 inch plastic indian of the same
color
for intimidation.
One player humming "Im bringing home a baby bumblebee" the entire game.
One player keeps his pieces in what he refers to as his "hyperbolic
chamber"
He stands them up on end (we've been using the latest version with
cannons,
horses, guys) on the upside down lid of the plastic container, then
seals
them in by placing the container over top of them. Big deal, right? If
done
enough, it gets to the point where someone will get ticked enough to
grab
it and shake the hell out of it. Once he was losing a critical battle,
stopped, replaced 2 of the pieces on the board with those from the
chamber,
and rolled double sixes on defense twice in a row.
One player refused the first die offered to him any time he was
defending
with one. He would take it, put it down, and get the other one. I still
dont understand how, but this seriously worked like 70% of the time.
It
was eerie.
There were others
