And it don't stop!

Having cleaned up and dined, I returned to Satan's gifts, mulling the evil intentions by gifting me a euro game about hospital managament. So I lifted the top expecting cardboard and wooden blocks...



Mark my surprise as I peered inside and found not just that but infact a buttload of cool stuff!

Exhibit A:



1920s furniture: perfect for some Pulp or Lovecraftian roleplaying! Diederik, can we have another go at your campaign?

Exhibit B:



A game of doubt and dread. That certainly fits my current state of mind and the above gift!

Exhibit C:



A suspicious looking compact disc that triggered my interest. Will have a listen sometime later this evening (with the candles burning low and the Cramps on the stereo)


Exhibit D:



Spock's Socks that I'm wearing right now! Good fit! Satan knows these things


Exhibit E:



Some weird looking chap, I suspect of representing broccoli. I think I have a solution for that...

Exhibit F:



And the Quarantine game itself. Not a lot of stuff for such a big box, but for once I'm not complaining!


So many more thanks Satan!

Not sure what I've done to deserve to be heaped in gifts twice in a row. I guess I must have signed over my soul while accepting the terms of service on some piece of software...


So I Had Been Warned

So I had been warned: NO KNIVES! Obviously something precious and frail was inside...



But my years long experience with all things Satan has taught me caution, and my first reach into the box proved me correct



After removing a first layer of shiny filth there appeared a box. For some reason I grew even more cautious



And again I was rewarded with averting catastrophy!



The box had been boobytrapped! 



True to the manual, I wouldn't use a knife to remove the tripwire. That made my further venture more exciting and a bit more time consuming.

Satan had obviously been enjoying the packaging!





After I cleared several layers of glitter from the box, I found some familiar looking game cards.


Ah... Petropolis! A hint perhaps?

Still without a knife I assaulted the layers of tape with the only sharp weapon at my disposal



A gruesome struggle that left left me with the debris of war



As much as the spoils!



And a self portrait of Satan! This will end up above my bed and provide grizzly joy for years to come



So thank you Satan. So much joy and punishment for such an unfit minion! Please, hit me one more time!


Now, where did I leave the vacuum cleaner?

Secret Satan has arrived!

It's that time of the year again!



This may take a while....
