Pieces of Cloth

I spent Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning at Bigor, the Israeli Role-Playing convention.
I practically lived in the lounge, playing different board games. Played with friends from the Technion board game club and with strangers. Played games I was familiar with (I won't be playing Galaxy Truckers for a long time, I think) and added some new ones to the my list.
Catching the last train on Friday, which leaves Modiin at a rather upsetting 13:51 so the shabbat can be kept, I headed over to my brother's apartment in Tel-Aviv as I promised him I would show up for his board game event.
Despite my exhaustion, I had a fun. Played a round of Settlers of Catan, with my brother winning as expected, as well as Carcassone, where I tied for last. Just couldn't get those farmers down.

While we were waiting for my brother's friends to arrive, I tried to teach him Perudo, and told him which games I played. I mentioned I watched Jungle Speed being played (Not a fan of dexterity or party games, so I opted out.)
Messing around with some pieces of cloth my sister-in-law had cut from curtains and left on the table, I started combining Jungle Speed and Perudo into a silly game.

The object of the "game" was to grab the dice cup (the totem) if the sum of all the pips was higher than 15. If it was you would win and pass your piece of cloth. Lose, and the piece of cloth would go back to you. Now I'm playing around with this silly idea, to see if I can make a genuine game out of it.
