Equinox Party 47 - Silver

• wall game: Silver Compounds, by NeilFred Picciotto (Renfield)
• wall game: A Not-So-Elementary Puzzle, by Wei-Hwa Huang
• wall game: Silvered Words/Tarnished Words, by Wei-Hwa Huang
• wall game: Silver Turns, by Martin Eiger (Wrybosh): poster or handout

• mixer: Heard on the Silver Screen, by Alexandra Dixon (Serendipity): directions, quotes, definitions table, cards, letters, answers
• paper-and-pencil puzzle: Olympiad by Andrew Bradburn (Jigsaw)
• creative game: The Silver Book of Literature, by Jon Zingman (Plaid): instructions, our creations
• performance game: Go for the Silver! by Rick Rubenstein (Rubrick): 9 "countries" competed in a series of silly events, each with 3 heats and a final, in which competitors tried to get second place. Examples included writing down items in a category, solving absurdly simple math problems with eyes closed and holding up fingers representing the answer, and paper wad tossing for distance.

Oldies but goodies: we had to violate an ancient Equinox taboo against re-using games because the expected megagame didn't materialize.

• pencil and paper game: Cross-Purposes, by Henri Picciotto (Hot)
• performance game: Mirror Charades, by Rick Rubenstein (Rubrick): Like normal charades, except charader 1, who knows the answer, stands behind the guessers, while charader 2, who doesn't know the answer, stands in front and mirrors charader 1.
