Board Games

Everyone loves a good game of Apples to Apples.  Other good games for dorm use include: Quelf, Dixit, Banagrams/scrabble, We Didn't Playtest This At All, and anything that was originally designed for very small children (like Elefun).

For maximum enjoyment of such games
1) Play them either very late at night or when otherwise sleep-deprived.  It's like being drunk but without breaking any laws.
2) Play with the maximum (or more) number of players.
3) Blast music in the background.
4) Tweak the rules to make everything more exciting.  For example: if you lose at WDPTAA, you must stand on your head until you are back it, or feed grapes to the player who killed you, etc.
5) Camp out in the middle of the hall.  Be as in the way as possible and refuse to move to a more appropriate common area.

It also helps if you make the Cheesecake Brownies from my last post and use them as incentives to get people to play with you.  Just sayin'.
