Via my brother
So Dominic and I are playing “Castle” today. This is a game we play with his castle and teams of knights set up. One player picks a knight to attack another on the opposing player’s team and then rolls a die. If a 1, 2 or 3 is rolled, the attacking knight misses. A 4, 5, or 6 yields a hit and the attacked knight dies and is taken out of the game.
The last time we played, Dominic secured a siege ladder to the castle walls using a rubber band. One of the guys got tangled up in it and hung from the walls. He thought that was cool, so now whenever one of my guys bites it, he gets hung from the castle walls.
So today:
D: I’m going to put this up here and any of your dead guys get hung here.
Me: OK. You know, real kings back in the day would do the same thing to their enemies. To teach them a lesson.
D: What lesson?
Me: Don’t fight the king.
D: (confirming tone) Or he’ll destroy you.
Flawless.
