Medeival Celebrations Party

<< < (3/5) > >>

Aiden of Oreland:
I have also been contemplating on games to play. According to some, horse shoes have been played since the Roman occupation of England by the Romans. They used them because they couldn't afford Quoits. That's one game that all the guests know how to play for the most part, now to consider other possible games. Maybe that rat flinging one that's you must land in the cleavage ;)

Sir Edward:

Hah, Rat-Pucking? I don't think that's period. :)

Chess is a nice medieval game, as is Backgammon. For outdoor, Bocci/Bocce (choose your spelling) dates back as far as the Roman Empire, I just don't know how much the rules have changed since then.

Some quick googling turned up this:  http://www.castlesandmanorhouses.com/life_08_games.htm

Aiden of Oreland:
Chess is always good, may set up a table of that. I wish we had a lute hero in our family lol. Maybe I'll convince a base player or guitarist in my family too. More or less likely, I'm just going to hide a magical music contraption somewhere :)

Aiden of Oreland:
Seeing how my parents still have a hold on my spendings, I have to reduce the max limit too $500, which doesn't really give me much room to buy the necessary items for 18 guests. So, would a cow horn tumbler work for a middle class event? Or were they only used for wine?

Sir James A:
I heard someone is flinging mice at my boobs? Eh?

Depending who is coming, they might have their own gear. I could bring my own medieval mug and utensils. It'll save you a little money.
