Crack List trial success
Mid winter and chilly outside, there were six of us – Nicole was away at work in Melbourne, and El Prez at a birthday party. Mind you, knowing Wayne‘s attitude to tonight’s main game it wasn’t surprising he’d rather be at a birthday party for one of his neighbours turning 92.
The main event was Five Crowns in which Rob got off to a flying start by immediately “going out” in the first two rounds, and also in round 3 not long after the deal, but then his luck ran out and he was caught by Louise who had four consecutive zero scores (remember it’s low scores that win). So Louise won with Tara 2nd and Rob 3rd.
The scheduled backup game Scattergories was replaced after we found out Wayne would be absent (he has that game) – Tara brought a card game called Crack List which turned out to be quite a success. It has many of the qualities of Scattergories with a bit of similarity to Uno thrown in. It’s now listed on the games page with a link to the rules. Peter won the game with Matt and Val the runners up. I have a feeling that Crack List will be picked again before the season ends.
