Another new game & a member lost
It was a pleasant late autumn evening at Tara‘s, and she wasn’t sure if a log fire was called for or not, so she lit one anyway – and it was very nice. In the preliminary chat before battle commenced it was decided that missing rookie member Jiordan was probably not coming back – Tara had seen something on Facebook that indicated she has now moved to Brisbane. SBGA Charter rule 2.4 has now been invoked (see Constitution), there being more than 3 consecutive meetings missed with no contact. If you’re reading this Jiordy, we know your mum was ill, and we hope you are OK. So we are back to a membership of six with the possibility that Wayne’s bus driver friend may be interested.
The new main game we tried was Phase 10 which was generally well received, and will be added to the roster – it is similar in flavour to Five Crowns. The placings were Tara – Nicole – Louise. Old favourite Billionaire! was backup in which Rob scored a personal best by calling “billionaire!” twice in a row, but it wasn’t enough to best Louise who blitzed the field by getting a 9-card winning hand on the very first round – that’s double your money! The placings were Louise – Rob – Tara. As you can see, Louise bagged two lots of points which has put her on top of the ladder, but only by 25 points. Tara also got two helpings which she badly needed to lift her out of the doldrums and into 3rd place. At present we have the unusual situation of two tied ladder positions with Rob and Nicole on 2nd spot, and Genelle and Tara on 3rd. Genelle and El Presidente both WHP.
