Axe Throwing
...just like in that really bad movie...
Sven may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's bright enough to know that a volcano is dangerous. So, when he heard that the natives wanted him to throw a virgin into the volcano (to appease the gods for his various transgressions) he wanted to be as far away from the volcano as possible.
Sven, being Sven, misunderstood a virgin to mean virgin wool.
Rules for Virgin Sacrifice
- For the game there is a volcano, an altar, and a virgin (aka sheep).
- Sven stands on the altar and throws the virgin in the volcano while a native shaman witnesses the throw.
- The virgin must go in the volcano, no half kills.
- Sven must stay on the altar till the virgin goes in, else
the gods won't know who made the sacrifice.
- If the virgin goes in the volcano, then Sven gets to move
the altar one pace away from the volcano and scribe their name
on the altar.
- At the end of the day, the last Sven to sacrifice a virgin wins.
