Try out some funny playtesting tales:

Carl, an aeronautics engineer, was only momentarily fazed when a Room Event had him dressed in a sequined evening gown and spike heels. He was falling into a piranha pond, and figured by scrawling some complex mathematical problems on his slate, those smart little de-fleshing engineers would be too engrossed to attack him. Meanwhile, he kicked off those heels and swam to safety.

Teri Ann got stuck in the Cellar, unable to earn points, and could only collect cards. When she finally escaped, she immediately hit a Room Event and, in one fell swoop, won the game — she'd collected mostly car parts, built herself an auto and drove off into the sunset...

Lisa came up with many funny phrases during the course of the game, like "the flying fiery fishheads of death..."

Erica did some very weird things with electricity and meat carcasses (with some brilliant kibitzing by Lisa) to reanimate a goat, in order to get some milk from it. Can't recall why this was necessary. She also saved the town from yet more nuclear contamination by building a curious whipped-cream containment field. Come to think of it, a lot of dairy happened that day.
