Nicole the new leader, El Prez lurches off last place.
On a cold damp night in the absolute middle of winter (it was the solstice after all) we gathered to play Five Crowns and Uno Flip at Nicole‘s place. The aircon was working just fine and a good time was had by all. Wayne mentioned another potential candidate for filling one of our vacancies, someone he knows from Miranda Musical Society – there’s a possibility he may attend the next meeting.
The main game passed without incident – El Prez by his own admission had no idea what was going on till late in the game, just as happened last time it was played, but with much help in arranging his cards he managed to stagger into second place early in the game and stayed there till the end. That turns out to be very handy for him because it lifts him out of the Wooden Spoon position – that dubious honour now belongs to Tara who WHP. The other WHP was Rob who drops to third place, one spot lower than last month. Nicole got two helpings of points by her win in 5C and 3rd in Uno Flip – this makes her the new ladder leader, overtaking Louise who also got two servings of points. Genelle easily won Uno Flip – there was time for only two hands, and she won the first, then followed up by scoring the lowest points of all (other than zero) in the second hand. Note that low points are a good thing in Uno.
