Napoleon Dynomite


You've seen the movie but have you played the game?

My husband received the game "Napoleon Dynomite" around Christmas and so the boys and I decided to give it a try.

It is a drawing game.

And I thought I was bad at pictionary. This game is even more challenging for me because it limits what you are drawing.

Animals.

But not just any animals.

You pick two cards from the card pile. Each one has written on it a type of animal. Your task is to then draw a combination of the two animals within a certain time limit. Then, you get points based on if others can guess (within that time limit) what two animals your drawing represent.

Once I realized this was a drawing game I knew right away one of my kids would have an advantage over all of us. And I was right. Just look at the evidence.

Can you guess what this is?

Yep, a fox-alligator. A drawing by Mr. P.

How about this one?

This one is a penguin-goat. And it happens to be my creation that my kids only half-guessed. So I only got half the points.

Here are two of the creations my creative son who loves to draw made.


A horse-rabbit.

And an osterich-bee.


Both drawings earned him full points. Because he is good like that.

And I am not.
