Tara streaks ahead
In the middle of a wet fortnight we met at Como to play Matt‘s choices of Five Crowns and Scattergories. Thanks to Genelle and Louise for acting as chauffeur for El Prez who no longer has his own transport. Nicole was away due to moving house.
Five Crowns was popular with all except for Wayne who by his own admission doesn’t quite get it, but thanks to help from Tara he managed to beat me back into last place! It was a close run game with the top three placegetters often separated by only 2 points, and the lead changing almost with each round. In the end it was Tara who won followed by rookie Pete then Matt, who scored the most zeros (ie; went out first).
Then there was Scattergories for four rounds – it had its usual share of controversy, for example the argument about whether “octopus” qualified as a “fish” had to be settled by a vote – that vote went 4-3 in favour of Tara getting the octopus point which avoided a “Scatter-off” to resolve a tie with Rob who ended up in third place by 1 point.
Wayne, Louise and Genelle WHP, and just look at the ladder graph – Tara has won two main games in a row and is now well ahead of the rest of the pack.
