Matt gets first Main,
Watergate revived from archives

Once again at the Jannali Presidential Gamerdome, it was a cold evening – aircon required. Seven of us (Steve still detained but expected back soon) played Scattergories and Watergate.

Scattergories was the usual scramble for unusual words with several attempts to get dodgy words past the jury. It’s a game at which yours truly has never excelled, but this time scored a PB by getting 12 points for one round, followed by a lousy 3 points in the following round. The scattering was won by rookie Matt in a tightly scored game – the winning score 53 and last place (no names) just 39.

Watergate has not been aired for years, in fact it seems to have fallen off the official games list, an omission I will soon rectify. Fortunately it is a quite simple game and was quickly picked up by all.

There have been quite a few changes on the leader board, Rob’s WHP has seen him demoted from a brief appearance at the top to 3rd place, overtaken by Louise who was also overtaken by the red hot Tara. Matt has risen out of the middle ranks to be just 50 points below the leaders.
