Children's' Day!! Let's have some cookies and milk!!
Had a blasting night at Settlers with Ah Lian, Josh, ZM, Ijin and JM. The 7 of us instantly became kids when we played this new game -- Toss Your Cookies!!
Eight different round cookie tiles are included with the game: Iced sugar cookies, gingerbread men, fortune cookies, generic “Oreo” cookies, chocolate chip cookies, macadamia nut cookies, fudge swirl, and fruit center cookies. One set of six identical cookies is used for each player as well as some “wild” cookies and “half-eaten” cookies, which, along with a single milk card, total seven cards for each player. The tiles(cards) are shuffled face down on the table, and each player draws seven of them. Two custom six-sided dice are given to the player who last ate a homemade cookie, and the game is ready to begin!!
On a player’s turn, they simply roll the two dice and take the action indicated by the combo. The combos that occur can be:
- Whichever player has the milk must pass it to the player on their left (or right). Before doing so, they may draw a random card from that player’s hand.
- Same as above, but the player receiving the milk card is the player rolling the dice.
- The player rolling the dice chooses another player, who must swap the number of cards with them shown on one of the dice (“1”, “2”, “3”, or “all”).
- Everyone passes the number of cards shown on one of the dice to their right (or left).
- The player with the milk card must toss it into the center. Everyone else makes a grab for it, with the player who snags it losing a random card to the former milk holder.
- Everyone must toss a certain number of cards into the middle of the table – face up. Everyone then grabs the same amount as quickly as they can, filling their hands back up.
The game continues until one player has five of the same cookie type (wild cards act as any type of cookie) AND the milk. They should then shout out “Snickerdoodle”, causing them to immediately win the game.
Really, the game is one of sheer silliness. It seems like at least once a game, players roll the combo “toss” and “all”, which result in an instant madhouse. It’s really quite funny to see players scramble madly to get all the correct cookies they need. Almost as funny, and certainly vicious, is when the milk itself is tossed. Fingernails should be clipped beforehand, and I can guarantee you that the milk card will look the most worn after a while, although it’s fairly obvious most of the time who has it anyway.
With a large group, the tossing gets extremely insane. Well, a loud "N*N*B*" and some other phrases from "ah-hem", was heard. And boys scrambling all over the floor and even under the table! All just for a milk card.
