Bankrupts Rule! – (not)
It was the worst deluge Sydney had seen in 100 years, but there was a sufficient lull in the downpour to enjoy some games. Everyone turned up to Rob’s at Como except Jiordan who hasn’t replied to recent messages – a bit worrying, perhaps she’s still in Qld. We renewed our acquaintance with an old fave Brisk Bizz in which fortunes were won and lost and bankruptcies were rife. In fact, there was one that had a devastating result:- Genelle drew a Challenge card that allowed her to nominate anybody to attend the insolvency court. Her ultimately successful strategy was to pick the current competition leader (me) for the bankruptcy hearing, and he was found insolvent! He had to hand back an impressive array of properties and all his cash, a disaster from which he never fully recovered, and which possibly contributed to his WHP and loss of the lead. There were also other players who never quite recovered from being bankrupted, but Wayne managed to recover pretty well despite several visits to the court. The new competition leader is Nicole with her Bizz win giving her a 75 point lead.
Genelle won Greed and also came third in Bizz, this burst of points allowing her to overtake Louise and occupy third place on the ladder. Wayne‘s double placing – a 2nd and a 3rd – has pushed him right up with the middle bunch on the ladder, in with a chance of a placing. Tara‘s 2nd in Greed wasn’t enough to make her look good on the ladder, but at least she’s off the dreaded Zero and only a Movie Maker win away from mixing it with the middle bunch.
