Uriel = this on angel dude, Adam = the guy who owns the house weâre all squatting in, Lily = Nobody cares.
âWait... did Adam design the characters after us?â I asked looking at the four small figurines after Uriel opened the small box.
âI think so, I guess Iâm the hat,â Uriel said picking up and inspecting his pawn.
âThen I guess that makes me that makes the gun me,â I said taking my one.
âThe teacup it obviously Adam,â I said looking over to the fourth pawn, a literal stone carving of a pile of crap.
âI think this might be-â I was interrupted by Uriel who said âYeah definitelyâŚâ, we both looked over to the sleeping Lily with pity before deciding not to wake her up to play the game.
 âRight, so I assume you know how to play the game?â Uriel asked.
âYeah, I played it by myself once, my parents bought me the game for Christmas and I had nobody to play it with so I learned the rules,â I explained.
âThat is that is the single saddest thing I heard from you,â Uriel said with even more pity in his eyes than before.
âShut up, itâs not like I wanted to play the game with anyone!â I replied.
Uriel just kept shooting me that same pitiful look,
I took out the four stone tiles inside which when placed beside each other into a square make up the playing board, I put Urielâs pawn on the start square labelled âStart Hereâ same thing with my one.
I gave each one of us five brown coins and five green coinsâŚ
âWhat about the other pawns?â Uriel asked.
âIâm not going to give money to pawns that arenât in the gameâŚâ I replied.
âSo youâre not going to use the other pawns?â Uriel asked.
âWhy would I put pawns that nobody is going to play on the board?â I asked rhetorically.
Uriel picked up the pawns and placed them down, âIt does no harm for us to include them.â Uriel shrugged.
âSometimes, I canât tell if you are just thatâŚannoyingly nice or if youâre just trying to piss me offâŚâ I complained before rolling the dice.
âOneâŚâ I announced before moving my pawn one square forward, it read âWarebears attack you, you loose one brown coin, if you donât have one, you lose a green one, else you go back to the startâŚâ I surrendered the one coinâŚ
âAlright, now you goâŚâ I said tossing the dice to Uriel, âSix,â he announced, he moved his pawn six places forward before reading the square aloud âA small inn, you can buy it for one green coin.â Uriel put one green coin away before pulling out a little green-stone house figurine, âKeep in mind the green ones are mine.â He said placing it down on the square.
I roll again, âFive!â I announced, âFinally, luck is on my side!â I said as I move my pawn forward by five only to realise I landed on Urielâs inn, âAh, welcome to my inn!â he exclaimed upon seeing this, I looked to the bottom of the square, it had â1Bâ written in small text, I guess thatâs the amount I have to pay for stepping on it, I had Uriel one brown coin,
Uriel looked over to me, âWhy are you paying me?â he asked.
âBecause I landed on your square,â I explained, slightly irritated at this point.
âItâs alright, you can stay for free, Iâm sure my inn can stay in business despite letting one person stay the night for free.â Uriel shrugged.
âTHATâS NOT HOW THE GAME WORKS!â I exclaimed handing him the dice.
 Uriel rolled again, âOneâŚâ he said, a grin spread across my face, âOh, too bad, itâs ok though - sometimes, luck just isnât on our side.â I explained.
Uriel moved forward by one, âUpon leaving the inn, you are approached by a group of bandits! They demand your money or they will kill you, which will mean returning to square one.â Uriel read looking down to see an âat least 2Bâ written on the bottom of the square.
âOoooh, that suck!â I said with a wide grin, before seeing Uriel place six brown coins on the square.
I wasnât sure why he did thisâŚbut to be fair, he did a lot of stupid things.
 Uriel: 0 Brown, 4 GreenâŚ
 I roll the dice, âthreeâŚâ I announce, moving my pawn over, âSurprise square!â I said as I reached for a card, âYou found ten brown coins behind the couch!â I read with excitement before grabbing ten more brown coins.
 Uriel rolls the dice, âOneâŚâ he read again, he moves over to the square, âLooks like your competition stalked you, move one pawn closest to the start to the square ahead of you.â Uriel narrated before grabbing the cup pawn and moving it to where I was, Uriel then took out a surprise card for the pawn.
âSwap your money with someone else on this squareâŚâ Uriel read.
 Without saying anything I roll the dice, âSixâŚâ I grumble before narrating the square âMultiply your money by two! -Enjoy~â
 I just handed Uriel the diceâŚ
He rolled the dice⌠âOneâ He announced moving onto the surprise square, âAdd the value of all player coins on this square, and divide by two, that is your current balance, if it is not a full number or not an even number, round up and or minus one coin,â Uriel said,
0.5(13 + 0) = 6.5, Round up to 7 and minus one 6 Brown, Green remains the same since the value ends up as 8, except for Adam who looses 1 Green.
 âGOD DAMN ITâŚheâs taking advantage of the other pawnsâŚis that even allowed?!⌠I guess I might as well cheat tooâŚâ I decided.
âHey, you have Adam on your side, I think I should get Lily.â I suggested, I expected him to protest but he just said: âSound fair, Iâm glad you learned from your mistakes.â
 I rolled one for Lilyâs pawn, âoneâŚâ she moved onto the werebear square and had to move back since she has no money.
âLILY YOU LITERAL PIECE OF SHIT!â I cried, causing the real Lily to wake up and jump up, âAdam?!â She exclaimed looking around, âNo, no, sorry, I was just screaming at your pawn in the game.â I explained waving Lily to go back to sleep.
 I roll the dice for myself, âoneâŚâ I moved one forward⌠It was a bland squareâŚ
 âWhat does a blank square mean?â Uriel asked.
A devilish idea was born in my head, âOh, thatâŚit means that weâŚfightâŚâ I came up with some a random excuse.
âA fight? How does that work?â Uriel asked,
âSimpleâŚâ I look at the cardsâŚâWe just think about who would win the fight with the give land and pawnsâŚâ I explained.
âI seeâŚa very creative game!â Uriel exclaimed.
âExactly!â I replied, âWell since this is me, I have the teleport bullets so I teleport beside your Inn.â I explained moving my pawn to the square after the inn.
âAlright, in that case, I think I win,â Uriel replied uncertainly.
âWhy is that?â I asked looking around the board.
 That was when I imagined it, I move towards the innâŚready to take the enemy castle when suddenly⌠Iâm surrounded by a group of bandits⌠Uriel pointed to the bandit card, âIt says at least 2 brown, I gave them six, by giving them all I have I  hope, nay pray that they will help me in my hour of need if such a time comes!â Uriel exclaimed.
I looked over to my money pile, no coinsâŚthis means Iâm dead!
I flipped the board and left leaving Uriel along in the living room, except for the now sleeping Lily.
