WARGS
Best Friends or “How I got a bigger piece of the pie through quick wit and bitchiness”
Today at WARGS I, along with 4 others, played a game of Best Friends. This crazy game of girls and their petty hatreds and jealousies is awesome fun for a one off play.
We sat down and started to talk through what type of game we wanted to play. A few ideas were put on the table from Vestal Virgins to students at a Sith Academy to a group of women haggling over a fortune. In the end it was decided that they were:
Heather (Paul) – the first ex-wife
Chastity (Nasis) – the ex-trophy wife
Kitten (Nick) – the bimbo mistress
Katrina (Curtis) – illegitimate daughter
of Nigel, a millionaire who made his money from inventing the post-it-note clue. He’s dying and they have to prove to the lawyer that Katrina is part of the family or she gets the full $50 million.
The highlight of the game for me was Paul’s increadable bitchiness as Heather. With out a doubt he took the whole idea of the catty and mildly bitter ex-wife to a new level.
The lines of the afternoon go to Paul and Curtis:
Heather replying to Chastity about the length of their respective marriages: “Yes, well, give or take 10 years”.
Katrina commenting on Nigel’s 24 hour nursing care: “The happy ending nursing team”.
After Heather “got rid” off Kitten’s handbag dog in a up market New York club, Kitten seduced Heather’s new husband (for which Heather vowed to kill her), Chastity got the seduction on camera and provided the evidence to the lawyer, Katrina tried to get more money by suggesting that daddy liked her more than he should and Kitten ran off to Mexico with all the spare cash and jewlery she could find, the end result had the full $50 mill being split evenly between Katrina, Heather and Chastity.
I had a blast, thanks to the quick wit and utter bitchiness of the players!
