Well marco one up for teamwork..

This is going swimmingly

Rodney and the guards are going to rust.

Moat monsters Marco and Polo are hiding. They don’t want to see the V-E-T.

No problem. The fecal coliforms in the water of the moat will keep out most Invaders. Or kill them anyway.

While the monsters are away the knights will play.

The Fink is considerate of monsters.

So you has replace em with moat maroons eh.

Try Silent Marco Polo… One call of Marco, one response of Polo, then Marco has to listen carefully to find a Polo (usually pretty easy with a bunch of giggling & splashing kids). Less intrusive to others in the pool, unless Marco happens upon one of them. Great fun with an adult Marko and kids as the Polos.

Rodney is supposed to have his eyes closed

They are wearing chainmail, and armor in the water?

If you’re going to pull moat duty, might as well have fun doing it!

Why are Rodney’s eyes open?

I was going to say Rodney grew a pair, but I guess not. I thought you only played that game if you couldn’t see people.

Try playing Marco Polo when your’re drunk. It’s way more fun to cheat when you still can’t win.

Rod has his eyes open. He’s cheating!

FISH OUT OF WATER!

Moats are not really designed to stop land invasions. Their real purpose was to prevent an enemy from trying to tunnel under the castle walls. An enemy would have to be very motivated to dig deep enough to avoid having the moat collapse into their tunnel.

Even moat monsters need checkups.

Hey, Rodney’s eyes are open! He’s cheating!

the kids on the next block had a pool and we had 1 they would yell Marco and we would yell Polo my granddaughter had fun… and so did they…

Who won?
