Wowsers! What a great first Secret Santa exchange.

My mystery elf sender is awesome!

I came back to my office to find that a package had been delivered, sure enough it was addressed to Basoos1.

As I opened the box I immediately saw two things: Cards against humanity and Sriracha.

Just last week I was telling my girlfriend that I needed to buy Cards Against Humanity as I've been wanting to play and we've got lots of fun parties coming up. Further, this morning I found out that Sriracha is likely going to be in scarce supply soon. How fantastic that I've got another bottle in reserve.

I then noticed there were two other items in box, below packaging material: an expansion pack for Cards Against Humanity, WOOT! even more awesomeness. And Forbidden Island, a game I've seen pop up every now and again in exchanges, but that I knew nothing about. I have since read the rules, and will be playing a game this evening.

The only way this gift could have been better is if I knew who sent it so I could thank them!

EDIT: My gifter has emerged from the shadows Thank you Cliex! I love the gift!

Also had a chance to play both games last night. Forbidden Island initially seemed a bit complex, but turns out it has pretty simple mechanics, we played on the easiest level and had a bunch of fun. Next time we'll ratchet up the difficulty and see if we can still survive/escape.

Cards against humanity was a hoot, while not designed to play with two people we made made it work and cracked ourselves up for a solid hour.
