My favorite place in the world to play Treehouse is
a bar. Not a gamer bar, not even necessarily a gamer-friendly bar.
Just any bar you happen to be at.
I introduced some of my closest friends to the
wonders of all things pyramidal at just such a bar (a pub in England, actually)
when we stopped in for a couple of pints after a soccer match. The
progression from, "What the hell?", through, "Oooh.... pretty", to, "So, how
does this work?, to finally (and repeatedly!), "Let's play again!" was
priceless. And has been repeated each time I've whipped out a tube at a
bar.
I even started a game at Halftime of a Giants
playoff game last season, and we didn't notice the second half kick off. .
.
The best thing about pyramids and bars? The
beer can't damage the plastic - not always true of Fluxx cards!

[Rabbits] no more hobby store.... I am sad
This reminds me. I brought FLUXX to a 'girls night'. I just had one drink
(I rarely drink- they ordere a fuzzy navel for me- kinda yuck- like bad orange
juice)...anyway. They were all a bit tipsy. And the game wasn;t a "serious.
I'm gonna play to win game," but they sure had a LOT of playing! And like
you said- winning at FLUXX can be done just esily half drunk- it's often luck
of the draw. They said I brought thatgame on pupose to confuse them because I
knew they'd be drinking. I thought, "If I wanted to do that, I'd have brought
Volcano or Martian Chess".
I see nothing wrong with drinking while playing... but I think maybe that
should be done at home. If you have 5 tables of different gamers playing
different games and they are all inebriated I can only see that as becoming
very loud and too much commotion.And that's not make a good game playing
environment for the entire store.
But a 'adult gameing store' with alcohol is fine- as long there is a
family friendly one in town, too.

agree with you entirely. I too know many many gamers who prefer to
have a beer or three while gaming. I also kind of laughed when someone
said something about alcohol inhibiting the mental function required to play
and enjoy games. I immediately thought that I could just as easily win
at Fluxx as tipsy as can be. :lol: Several of the LL games could
easily be enjoyed very inebriated because they aren't huge brain burners.
