Monster Laundry

Hold a washing line in a circle and peg monsters to the correct side faster than everyone else.

Everyone stands in a circle holding a washing line, playing human clothes horse. On the signal you grab monsters and peg them to the line on the correct side, and the fastest correct player takes a golden clothespin.

Played standing, with the players holding the lineEveryone acts simultaneously, no waitingRounds last a minute or two

Who it's for

Kids' birthday parties and family groups who want to move around instead of sitting at a table.

Not for you if…

You need a calm game or have limited space: this one is loud, needs room for a circle of players, and rewards quick hands over thinking. Copies are also scarce these days.

Vibe's take

Chaotic and physical in the best way: everyone moves at once, arms cross, and someone always pegs the monster on the wrong side while shouting that they were first.
