I Want Nothing

The Maury Game: You are Not The Father
by Mattel Games

A paternity test has been performed, and the results lie in each player's Test Results envelope.

Play your cards right to increase your odds of innocence and revel in hysterical banter along the way!

An "argument" starts when an action card is played – each one reflects a phrase straight from the show.

Counter your opponent's argument with an even more outrageous claim to steal the round, gain Audience Popularity and lessen your odds of paternity by adding Not the Father cards to your Test Results envelope.

This tension-filled board game ends when a card is pulled from each player's envelope.

Only one will be the father – don't let it be you!

Seems complicated.

I would go the other direction: Werewolf/Mafia with one werewolf/mafioso (the father), one detective (the polygraphist), and one traitor (the DNA tester). Instead of killing townspeople, the father impregnates them away.

It's 2019. How do airport gate area seats not all have power sockets?

At least airports have seemingly all gotten on board with free unlimited wifi.

According to research by AtYourGate, 60% of travelers want to make a purchase at the airport but don't end up doing so due to lack of time. That's why the company created its in-airport delivery app.

I suppose if an appealing eatery is in another terminal…

The airplane boarding process would be less chaotic if passengers were required to check all non-carry-on bags.

Similarly, if no one likes being reclined upon, why do we allow seats in coach to recline at all?

Edible.com… When did Edible Arrangements re-brand?

They're leaving money on the table by not selling arrangements of marijuana edibles.

Oh!

CBD, because of course.

What products contain Edibles™ Hemp CBD?

Currently, Edibles™ Hemp CBD can be infused with our fresh fruit smoothies and chocolate dipped fruit, but that's only the beginning. We intend to expand our CBD offerings to many other creations in the near future.

My Christian heart cannot withstand the thundering arena

Collect the most properties, property sets, and railroad blocks before the tower crashes!

Greedy Jenga.

But players have to do this wearing a mouthpiece that makes it really hard to understand what they're saying.

Handicapped Taboo.

Players take turns knocking out plastic candies from the bottom row of the Connect 4 frame. Each time one gets knocked out, a new disc must be placed in one of the slots at the top of the frame. The plastic candy tokens keep moving out and dropping down as players try to get sets of 2, 3, or 4 candies adjacent to each other on the bottom row, or vertically up from the bottom.

Analog Candy Crush?

Players try to guess the suspect, murder weapon, and scene of the crime by asking yes or no questions about their opponent's cards in the grid.

Basic Clue.

The designated judge spins the spinner and calls out a challenge based on where it lands, and then chooses a starting letter. Then the twisting, shouting, and laughing begins! Players place their hands and feet on the mat to make a word. Then depending on where the spinner has landed, they try to be the first to shout out, spell out, or use the word in a sentence to win the round.

Should've swapped Jenga and Twister – Monopoly Twister and Scrabble Jenga.

Monopoly Twister: Mat of jumbled Monopoly properties. Spinner determines a body part, which you can place on any open property. Claim the most property sets before you collapse.

Scrabble Jenga: Scrabble tiles as Jenga blocks. Spell out words with blocks you remove. Highest word score when the tower crashes wins.
