The Roof, The Roof, The Roof is on Fire: A Fire in the Library Board Game Review

We played this last night and as Wade says the review, "it is way more fun that it has any right to be."

In our home we have smoke detectors which actually announce "Fire! Fire!" is a strange robotic voice in between the chirps and sirens. We have become quite familiar with this due to my less than expert cooking abilities. Last night we discovered that Zoe can do a perfect imitation of this voice. So every time someone pushed their luck too far, she'd do her "Fire! Fire!" impersonation, which was funnier than it had any right to be.

It made me think about how when you play a game often with your family or the same group you sometimes develop these kinds of little rituals, like chanting "Toad" in Talisman when someone rolls. And how these can make a game more special than it sometimes has the right to be.

The one you describe sounds like it may have been inspired or maybe actually about The Great Library of Alexandria. I'll have to do a search when I am not at work with everything blocked.
