HOW 'BOUT
THEM COWBOYSGame night, handled.
You scanned a coach's card at a costume party and it worked. That's not luck — that's staffing.
Games, the shared album, the birthday guestbook, and one very official cake — all tabs below.
Party Division — Family Tailgate Unit
On Duty Tonight
Five plays. Zero fumbles.
Need a ruling?
The Coach is on premises and taking questions between plays.
Happy Birthday, Sis.
Team Veterinarian. Six years at VCA — and as of this year, a full veterinarian. The franchise player of this family, officially.
The Birthday Cake
Sis — this one's yours. Light it, wish big, blow it out.
Check in. Be remembered.
Sign the roster so history knows you were on the field tonight.
The official vote.
One vote per phone. Democracy, but make it Cowboys.
Four quarters of birthday.
Arrive hungry. The spread is the opening drive, and it does not punt.
Every costume gets scouted. Catwalks count as the 40-yard dash.
The candle drive (use the cake above), the toast, and the speech Sis pretends she doesn't want.
Two-minute warning is a rumor. We play until the whistle, and the whistle is asleep.
Games, officiated by nobody.
House rules: water always counts, everyone plays at their own pace, and the Coach's rulings are final and frequently biased.
Draw a Play
The deck is shuffled, the stakes are sips, and the Coach accepts no instant replays.
Trick-or-Treat Draw
The spooky sister-deck. Friendly scares only — the Coach banned the real kind.
Call It, Coach
Star or Tails. Call it in the air like you mean it — hesitation is a turnover.
Penalty Dice
Roll both dice. Whatever the flags say, that's the call. The booth will not review it.
Birthday Spin
One spin, one mission, no substitutions. The birthday star holds veto power and will not use it kindly.
Cowboys Trivia
Three questions between you and immortality. A perfect game opens something.
Most Likely To
Draw a card, read it loud, count 3-2-1 — everybody points at the most likely person. The chosen one sips, and may deliver a short acceptance speech.
Squad Plays
Group challenges for the entire party. Draw one, do it together, hit the button when it's done. The room's score lives here.
Hot Seat: Sis Edition
Questions about the birthday star. The whole room shouts guesses — closest answer wins, Sis confirms the truth, losers sip.
Never Have I Ever
Five fingers up. Draw a card — if you've done it, finger down and sip. First to zero fingers tells the story. Those are the rules since forever.
One album. Every phone.
Add your best shots — everybody at the party sees the same album, live. Tap a photo to enlarge it. Vote with the heart; the leader wears the Photo of the Night crown.
The runway is the feed.
Enter your costume with a photo, then vote for the best-dressed in the building. The heart leader takes the crown — the Coach counts the votes at peak party.
Leave Sis a note.
It saves to the party book the second you post — and after the party, the Coach prints the whole book as a keepsake. Write like it's going in a frame.
Say it on camera.
Record a short video note for Sis — up to about 20 seconds. It posts to the party book and she keeps it forever.
