Farewell

This post is a story about my farewell in Nancy, France. Soon I will leave France and not coming back until January 2015 to do my Master Thesis. Deep in my heart, I know that I'm gonna miss this city so much. That's why me and my friend Chandra decided to throw a small farewell party with our lovely Indonesian friend here in Nancy. We gather at Hana and Wulan's room in Velodrome and open the meeting with dinner. We order some pizza from Halal Restaurant nearby and take it to the room. 

After dinner, we played our favorite card games which called DIX-IT. The game can be played by maximum 6 persons. My friend Vicki who is addicted to this game has finally bought a set of extended cards to play because we already tired of the old one. Each player will get 6 cards and a rabbit token. In total, there are 6 rabbit tokens with different color: red, white, blue, green, yellow, and pink. Every player will take the turn to be a story teller, the turn can be either clockwise or counter-clockwise. The story teller must select one out of six cards in his/her hand and make some sentences/ phrases/ paragraphs/ story. However the story teller must not show his/her card to other players. Then each other players will give the story teller one of their card that suits the story. Next, the story teller shuffle all the 6 cards to make them random and then turn the face up.  Finally the other players will guess which card is the one that the story teller is referring into. If nobody or everybody finds the correct picture, the storyteller scores 0, and each of the other players scores 2. Otherwise the storyteller and all players who found the correct answer score 3. Players other than the storyteller score 1 point for each vote their own pictures receive. After the guess has finished, every player take one card from the deck, so the cards on their hands remain 6 all the time during the game. The game ends when the card deck is empty. The player with the highest point total wins the game.

 

 After playing two rounds, we were getting bored and decided to play a new games. I did not know what it is called exactly, but in Indonesia this TV quiz is really popular and we refered it to "Bisa Jadi" (Can Be). So the game basically to pick two players, one who direct and one who guess the words. The player who direct can only say 3 words: either YES, NO, or MAYBE. The other player will guess only talk to the director. No one else should give him/her a hint.  The player with the highest number of correct words wins the game.
