THE MAN IS A WIZARD.
A LUCKY LUCKY WIZARD.
In all honesty though, my father has some magical ability within himself to always, and I mean always win a game. It does not matter what the game is, who is playing, or how long my father has been acquainted with the rules - he will win, and he will win by a landslide.
Take today for example. My brother Paul and I decided to challenge him to a game of Settlers of Catan; a stupid decision really. Despite the fact that we knew he would win, it was still upsetting to watch. Not only did he build a monopoly over the oar mart, but he also somehow managed to cast a spell over me and Paul, causing us to roll only numbers that would benefit his hand. We must have rolled the number 11 at least once every rotation, which is, of course, where he had built his multiple cities and settlements. You don't have to be familiar with the rules of the game to know that rolling an 11 in dice has very low odds...so to roll it once every three or four rolls is just ridiculous. And of course, my father was the ONLY one who benefited from a roll of 11. All because of luck? No...no, he's definitely a wizard.
Now look at last weeks Sunday game: Ticket to Ride. Somehow my father not only managed to draw all the routes with the highest point value, but he managed to complete them all before running out of trains...and draw three or four more routes that overlapped with the ridiculously impossible ones he had just completed...and get longest train... and use up every last one of his trains first. He even gave us all an extra two turns, and we STILL lost!
This man can also watch any trivia show and out-guess any contestant on air. He's definitely the man you want to get stuck in the cash cab with.
Unfortunately the only child he seems to have taught this magical ability to is Sam.
Don't even get me started on that kid...
Haha. I dare you to write another entry on Sam's impossible winning ability. If dad is a wizard, what kind of magic does Sam have?
