For Evan’s birthday, we did IRON CHEF: PEANUT BUTTER. Everyone had to bring an appetizer, main, and/or dessert, with peanut butter as the featured ingredient in every dish. Here were some highlights:

Mölkky

Mölkky is a Finnish game that’s a bit like bowling or bocce, but with sticks. You throw a stick at some other numbered sticks. If you knock over one stick, you get the number of points written on the stick. If you knock over more than one stick, you get points equivalent to the number of sticks you knocked over. The sticks get stood back up where they fell, so they spread out as the game progresses. First person to exactly 50 points wins, but if you go over 50 points, your score drops back to 25.

It’s quite simple, quite fun, and quite easy to make as a woodworking project.
