Isn’t it funny what one comes across when researching for a design assignment for uni work hehe …

An amusing excerpt from a Christmas supplement published in the Evening Post in 1934 that included suggestions for indoor party games over the festive season.

What to do at indoor Christmas parties is becoming more and more of a problem. Here are some suggestions which may help to add diversion to the occasion: For instance, you can sell some of your guests. This game is called “The Slave Market.” You choose five or six players, attractive-looking girls if possible to be sold as slaves, and one good compere to act as auctioneer. You give, say, twenty counters to each of the other players, whose object is to buy as many slaves as possible. If two players manage to buy the same number of slaves, the one who has most counters left wins. Skill consists in “pushing” the bids of other players and lying low for bargains. This sounds easy in cold blood, but is not so easy when the players are subjected to the blandishments of a) Uncle William as auctioneer after a good dinner and b) the slaves. It would be a shame to let Jane’s saucy eyes go for a paltry two counters!

Yaaaaaaaay I finished. But I wanna do it again because as usual I am never happy with my work lol. Meh. I’m kinda over this one and looking forward to working on something new. Off to do a digital assignment that is BORING and then off to research more stuff and design a poster. Fuck and its already Monday tomorrow, where the hell did my weekend go
