Tara is on fire!
A nice early autumn evening at the Presidential Gamerdome in Jannali saw us depleted a bit – Steve in Covid isolation as a close contact, and Ross expecting a grandchild birth any minute. We hope it all goes well for you guys.
The headline above says it all – it was once again Tara’s night with two lots of points. She won 5 Crowns despite a creditable challenge from Louise. They both scored zeros in 6 of the 11 rounds, and remember zeros are good. On at least two rounds, Tara “went out” before anyone else had even arranged their cards into a neat hand – there was even talk of a steward’s inquiry! Our host Genelle – hmm, it might be kindest to say that the highlight of her performance in both games was the lovely cup of tea with apple Danish served in the break. Better luck next time GG. 5 Crowns is obviously not one of Wayne‘s favourites, but he did get a round of applause when he managed to “go out” without assistance on the very last hand.
Greed was won by Rob but it isn’t clear if he was helped by an unfortunate scoring error. It seems we were incorrectly allowing high scores to be awarded for some combinations that should have been thrown on a single roll. At least the error was applied to all players consistently. Tara got second place in Greed,despite casually rolling an actual $GREED on her very first turn. Nicole managed to avoid WHP by scoring 3rd. So the only WHP scorers (excluding absentees) were Wayne and Genelle.
