Creaky Table Games

Martha knew her thoughts were mischievous, but her actions were downright devilish. As a matter of a fact, she was surprised at herself.

Competitions like the Village Green always brought with them an intense rivalry that seemed out of place for the joy and tranquility that the gardens brought their curators and visitors.

Still, Martha fought down a sense of pride at the ingenuity of her transgressions. Before meeting with each competitor, she bore a hole into the bottom of her wheelbarrow and fitted the hole with tubing that slithered along the belly of the barrow and hid behind the wheel. From this hose, Martha pumped herbicides throughout the gardens as she chatted casually under the guise of well wishes and gestured misdirection.

Needless to say, she couldn't have hoodwinked each of them, so she only applied the latent liquid to the best of the greenthumbs, then closed each time with the words, "Best of luck!"

For good measure and to top off her devilish deeds, she even dashed a bit in the less interesting areas of her own garden. Afterall, she was one of the best, wasn't she?

A concept I was kicking around for the and Flip and Write design contest. 🏕️

My Games prototype has made it to a place I'm happy with. An area control tug of war for 2 players. Time to hand draw the art and icons. 😬
