Another double whammy for the champ.
After a damp and stormy day the clouds had retreated in time for our Feb meet at Como. We were all aboard for this one, no absentees.
First it was Five Crowns – remember; “It’s not over till the Kings go wild”. El Prez is completely flummoxed by this game and had to rely on his neighbours (mainly Mother Theresa) to help, but he managed to hold down a potential third placing until the very last hand, you know, the one where the kings go wild? He was overtaken into 3rd place at the last minute by Nicole who was at or near the lead for much of the game. The winner was of course the former rookie (and current champ) Matt followed by Louise.
The backup game was Scattergories in which, just to rub it in, Matt won again! This time it was Tara in 2nd place with a Roll-off between Wayne and Louise to break the tie for 3rd. Unluckily for Louise the roll-off went to Wayne. Your treasurer managed to score a PW (personal worst) by coming last in both games. The other WHP victims were Peter and Genelle. Pete had just returned from a couple of weeks in the UK and was not up to his normal standard – he was in the grip of the dreaded jet lag.
So have another look at the competition scoreboard graphic – it’s Matthew on 250 with his nearest rivals Louise and Tara tied on only 30% of his score! We must put a stop to this at the first opportunity.
