Grand Final – the winner is Louise!
Congrats to Louise – the 2020 competition winner, and as a bonus, she took delivery of our very first green Board Queen shirt. In other fashion news, Jiordan also received her official blue SBGA shirt at the meet.
The programme was a bit unusual – Wayne’s Heroes & Villains has not been played often, possibly only once previously, but it went over quite well with the players, and came to an end relatively quickly when the inventor of the game lost his last Hero/Villain card. Nicole, our host, won on home turf with the minor placings Louise and Tara. The backup Sumo Slam was new to us – introduced by Nicole, it’s quite similar to Pass The Pigs, but with rubber Sumo wrestlers about 3 times the size of passed pigs. Jiordan scored her first game win in the Sumo ring with runners up Nicole and Louise.
So, Nicole and Louise both scored a double helping of points. This meant that Nicole was the biggest improver, overtaking Genelle to finish 4th for the season. Louise’s 60 points cemented her championship trophy, the only other contender Rob scoring a pathetic WHP to cement his 2nd place trophy. The other WHP scorers were El Prez and Genelle.
After the games ended we did a trial run of another new game introduced by Genelle – Rat-a-tat Cat. It went down pretty well with everyone except El Prez who said he didn’t like the look of it – this drew a well deserved accusation of Trump-like behaviour from Mother Theresa who was having trouble leaving behind her schoolmarm persona after a hard day’s teach.
