Battleship, Clue, Electric Football, and Twister are all fine choices. But if I had to challenge Death to a contest for my immortal soul, I'd go with dome hockey. I have a winger-center-jam slot pass that is essentially the Crane kick of bubble puck. Spin the defenseman and mash that "boo" button all you like: If do right, no can defend.

So if you are walking on the concourse at the UC and you see a blue-eyed dude in a tattered Muskegon Lumberjacks jersey leaning against a bubble hockey game, you just might want to keep on walking.

But don't fear the Reaper.
