Strange Games - party games, childhood games
Montegue Blister introduces himself as follows: "I am passionate about party and childhood games. Not just boring pass the parcel but unusual, even bizarre games like Snapdragons, Walking Trippy, Mouchard." Take Lemon Golf, - a most refreshingly Junkyard-like game played with lemons and walking sticks. Lemons! How joysomely unpredictable and party-worthy. Sure, you can use yardsticks instead of walking sticks. Or umbrellas even (collapsed, probably). But what other game can you think of that combines wacky object-whacking with lemonade preparation.
O, yes, there's the oddly Prui-like Mouchard, and, as advertised, Walking Trippy, and, should you wonder, the curiously dangerous children's game of Snapdragons.
This fellow Blister is clearly a fellow in spirit - an advocate and collector of primarily pointless games, played for the fun of it. And hence, a valued resource for us each and all.
And then there's Strange Games - the Videos
