Hilarious. I'm smiling because I just got this game for my 10-year old daughter's birthday. We had an absolute blast playing it the first time just yesterday & are both angling for another stretch to dive back in. It's wacky but stays "in-theme." Thanks for your unusual session report...
Hooray for Dad's & daughters!
