Dashing through the Sand - a Pulp Alley Game

The delivery driver had been burning the candle at both ends. Too much work for one night. Not to mention the suggestion of a little too much alcohol. Hardly surprising that he crashed. What was surprising was the fact that he hightailed it, leaving his valuable cargo scattered for anyone to grab. 

I ran this game at our club on Sunday. Five players, including two first-timers, joined the festive fracas! The objective was simple: player with the most parcels at the end of the game wins!

Stanley is the first one to make it to the sleigh. The reward for his derring-do? The black cat. I suppose he's been naughty rather than nice.

Party time!

A little too much eggnog.

The captain doesn't fare so well.

The cowboys close in on the last unclaimed present.

But the winner is...
