Keeping sibling rivalry fresh can be difficult. Once you've left sand in their bed, changed their girlfriends number to your's in their mobile and set their wallet in jelly, it can be hard to come up with new things. A recent trip home for our dad's 60th presented a new opportunity. A rogue piece of ham was left over after a typically indulgent Brophy family lunch, and the only way from stopping myself from eating it was coming up with a more satisfying using of it. And so Hide the Ham came to be. The game is pretty straight forward.
1. Take one piece of ham.
2. Hide it somewhere in your siblings belongings. It should be somewhere that they have a chance to find it before it starts to smell, but not necessarily.
3. Once they find it, they hide it in your belongings, and the game continues.
I'm staying with my brother for a month during the Melbourne comedy festival, so stay tuned for the increasingly hides and seeks of Hide the Ham.
Play it yourself and let me know how it goes!
