I call it Knife Game.

You draw a big chalk circle on the ground. Not too big though. Then you and your friends all stand within the circle and can't leave. Each friend gets a turn to toss the knife up in the air. Knife Game.

Also, Surviving The Game (1994) watch party?

i survived lawn darts and those came down pointy end first. I've got better odds against the knife

We used to play stretch when I was younger. Basically two people standing about 6 to 8 ft apart from each other with either a screwdriver or a knife and you throw it at each other's feet and you have to stretch for it in the first person to fall over or get stabbed loses.

Produced by Cutco, Knife Monopoly is a cut-throat game of skill and chance where you start as a humble knife salesman looking to build a bleeding edge cutlery empire. Journey across the world, from Damascus to Japan, to steal the secrets of steel while managing a diverse range of assets and allies: iron mines in Nigeria, sales teams in Sacramento, Sicilian hitmen, Nipponese Yakuza, and Bob from HR.

The winner is declared after cornering the worldwide cutlery market and completing the Iron Chef Triathlon with the battle cry:

"AND IT STILL CUTS A TOMATO!"

My go-to late game strat is outsourcing the sales team from Sacramento to the Philippines.

[-] arotrios@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Aha! A man who appreciates Bob's value - I salute you sir!

Side note, he has 10 points in headhunting, which applies to both your Sicilian hitmen and Nipponese Yakuza in some of the end game action.

Can't use it in an Iron Chef competition. It would void the warranty. Warranty clearly states that it doesn't cover any commercial uses.

Thanks for the horror flashbacks though.

It's a common misconception that the publicly funded Iron Chef Triathlon is the same as the televised Iron Chef competition.

The Iron Chef Triathlon consists of 3 sections - the Hungry Run, he Spicy Bike, and the Dim Sum Swim. Throughout this competition the Chef is limited to one set of knives.

The Hungry Run is a 2700 mile long foot race from Los Angeles to New York. Throughout the run, the Chefs compete by only cooking with locally grown organic vegetables. As this route passes through the Food Desert of the Midwest (including the horror of Kansas), where factory farming dominates, it was given the name Hungry Run as many of the Chefs could not find sufficient food to eat, and refused to tarnish their reputation by making corndogs.

The Spicy Bike is a 6,900 km bike race from Istanbul to Calcutta, throughout which each evening the Chefs compete by preparing for the locals a dish from their regional cuisine. The locals then vote to disqualify one of the contestants, who they often rob and/or harvest the organs of depending on the laws of the local municipality.

The Dim Sum Swim is a roughly 15000 km swim race around the coast of Australia, both beginning and ending in the Sydney harbor. Throughout the race, the Chefs must both harvest and prepare Dim Sum from the waters they pass through, towing a small inflatable cooking raft with a propane stove. Elimination of the Chefs at this stage is done via box jellyfish and saltwater crocodiles.

At the end of the swim, if the Chef's knife is still sharp enough to cut a tomato, he wins the title... and thus Knife Monopoly.

Truly the most dangerous game...

I'll never not post this amazing SMBC under this:

A millionaire with a private island? What is this— the 1930's? You've got to be a millionaire just to retire these days, and even then, it's not a sure bet.

I'm just about $559,999 short.

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

I got 5 on it

[-] Sadbutdru@sopuli.xyz 3 points 12 hours ago

So cool that this website selling private islands doesn't have a standard way of writing decimal points.

I’m a Death Cribbage fan myself.

[-] Miller@lemmy.world 27 points 17 hours ago

From what I have seen of millionaires if they are hunting anyone for sport it is going to have to be very heavily weighted in their favour and even then its a bit too much like work.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 17 points 17 hours ago

it is going to have to be very heavily weighted in their favour

They wouldn't do it any other way. See: fox hunting.

[-] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Some say the most dangerous game is the hunting of man.

I know that it's Knife Monopoly.

I really don't care for McFarlane but he nailed this show. Hope he does the same for Dungeon Crawler Carl

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 11 points 17 hours ago

Knife monopoly is when you go around the board and try to collect all the knives.

So far, I appear to be winning.

[-] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago
[-] TheVoiceOfRaison 8 points 17 hours ago

Pass go and do not collect 200. Go directly to jail and get stabbed.

[-] shweddy@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

I'm the only one with a knife and I can sell it to you for your entire fortune.
