Nosica Nosica Sonia wins by a Nose!

Yep, Maddies egg went down, smashed, kuputz!

Sonia was the grand winner! Note that nice Chocofeller Egg. We cracked it open and ate it all gone!

Annette inspects the damage that Sonia's egg inflicted

Kaleigh is paralyzed when hers broke!

So once again it was fun fun fun at Easter at Sonia and Annette's house. Don and Nonie joined us for a delicious dinner of turkey and dressing and gravy and potatoes and all the yummy veggies that Nonie brought..we filled our faces till we could eat nothing more but apple pie!
The Nosica Nosica game was rivoting as usual as everyone put their best egg's nose up to the nose of another player and smacke,smack smack...till you heard that aweful squinch as someone's egg broke.
We usually like to play with two hard boiled eggs each ( large white ones preferred) Colour them up but never apply any decals or anything to the pointy end as that will be your weapon end. Usually we colour then decorate them as a group, before going ahead with the game. Any two players can go together,as long as they keep their elbow on the table. The idea is to tap or smash the other player's egg until either yours or his breaks. There is no set rule how the breaking happens...sometimes it is the smasher and sometimes it is the smashee.
So, if there is a great number of players, every two players can tee off with egg # 1. The winners of that round go against each other in pairs. No real rules here, but everyone should play their egg. The winner is the owner of the last egg not broken. The prize used to always be a giant chocolate filled Purdy's egg, but they don't make them anymore. The winner gets their picture taken and eventually hung on the Nosica wall of fame ( maybe posted to my blog?) Then the idea is to drop the big egg so as to break it open and then everyone helps them selves to a hunk or two or three of chocolate...no covetting of the prize...it is meant to be shared. Figments in Nelson carries the big one that Sonia won and shared...and it was filled with about 6 chocolates. ( See photo above) Otherwise, any good quality egg will do the trick. The rule ussed to be that the winner would be the one who supplies the egg next year. However that is not always workable, so I just buy our egg. my mom used to play it with us as kids, on Easter morning ,before we ATE our coloured egg! No prize in those days, just bragging rights!

Try it out and you'll see that it could be fun any time of the year! And no quail or duck or ostrich eggs allowed!
