What's "42"?
42, also known as "Bones" is a game of skill, deception and sometimes luck. 4 players are required, 2 per team. Teammates sit opposite one another at a table.
This game requires a few things - actual communication with people, the ability to read your opponent, read your partner and being able to bet not only on what you have in your hand, but what you think your partner has in theirs and what your opponent has in theirs. One must abandon their cell phone to play this game. The game is better played in dark rooms with sketchy lighting and cold beer readily available. It's also a great way, or was back before the likes of tinder and metrosexual hookups, to meet chicks.
Back before smart phones, the Chicken was a prime gathering spot for the game to be played. Laughing, cussing, crap talking, wooing of the fairer sex and clanging of beer bottles and dominoes as your shook them between tricks was a normal set of sounds on just about any given night. If you played your cards right, you could clang your balls against poon later than night as well.
The new generation will likely never know what it was like to have a hell of a good night with good friends and conversation. You live a sad and pitiful life as a result, and I pity the way you go through this world. May God have mercy on your souls.
