Then, before long, Bun and I found the community room, and there were a bunch of folks in there; and then a hedgehog said, “It’s Shell and Bun!!” and so I assumed that the hedgehog was Hedge, and so then I said, “Hey, Hedge!…” and then Hedge said, “Hey Shell!…

  I’ll start a new game table that you and Bun can join in on!…” and then Hedge got a new game going at a table, and then Bun and I went over to that table, and then a raccoon and a skunk joined us at the table; and then the raccoon said, “Good to meet your friends, Hedge!…” and then the skunk said, “For sure!…

  I’ll try to go easy on them so that they don’t lose this card game too badly…” and then Hedge chuckled and said, “They might do better at this game than you think that they will!…” and then Hedge turned to Bun and I and then added, “Oh!, and these 2 are named Skunky and Coon!…” and then I said, “It’s nice to meet you 2!…” and then Bun said, “It is indeed!…

  And so what’s the game that we’re gonna play?…” and then Hedge explained the rules of the game, and then Bun said, “Hmmm…

  If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Sounds similar to games I’ve played in the past, and so maybe I’ll do alright…” and then I said, “And it doesn’t seem very similar to anything that I’ve played before, but I think that I understand the rules pretty well after that explanation, and so I think that I’ll be able to compete kind of well at least…” and then Skunky said, “We shall see!…” and then the cards were all dealt, and then the 5 of us all played the game several times over the next couple of hours (while also eating some snacks and drinking some drinks), and it turned out that I won once, Bun won once, Hedge won twice, Coon won 3 times, and Skunky won 3 times…; and then by the time that those games had been finished it was pretty late and so we all decided to call the game night over, though we all agreed that the 5 of us would play again another night until someone would get to 4 wins and that whoever would get to 4 wins first would be the overall winner of that set of games…; and so then Bun and I said farewell and goodnight to Hedge, Skunky, and Coon; and then the 3 of them also said farewell and goodnight to Bun and I; and then Skunky, Coon, and Hedge all headed off to their rooms to get some sleep; and then Bun and I headed off towards our room to get some sleep…
