One of the Games Overboard group’s favorite television shows is ABC’s Lost, and one of my personal favorite characters is Hurley. He’s big and lovable, and always seems to say just the right thing for whatever situation he finds himself in.
Not so surprisingly the actor who plays Hurley, Jorge Garcia, is one of my favorite actors to follow online. He writes his own blog, “Dispatches from the Island,” where he posts his and his girlfriend’s day to day activities. On a recent post, I was happily shocked, when he started talking about one of his favorite games to play when he gets together with a group of family or friends.
It seems Mr. Garcia is a huge fan of Werewolves, a great group game and one I think everyone should own. He even gives some play tips, like trying to get at least eight people in a round, and a minimal walk-through on the goal of the game (kill the werewolves before they kill you.) On top of that he mentions a few of the alternative Werewolf games that you might like to play.
I have to say, it’s a thrill knowing that someone famous has some of the same interests as you do, and while I’ve never been one to hold actors on a pedestal, it’s good to know that some are just gamer-geeks like the rest of us.
