Minimum Quorum – that was our attendance at the July meeting, just the four of us. Genelle<\/strong>, Louise<\/strong>, Wayne <\/strong>and Rob <\/strong>braved the cold and played in airconditioned comfort at Jannali (except there was no milk in the fridge for a cuppa). Tara <\/strong>was out of town on holiday (it was school hols time), Nicole<\/strong> had a bad sore throat (not Covid we believe), Steve<\/strong> had come down with Covid, and Ross<\/strong> was dealing with his very ill father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This date was a significant birthday for Genelle<\/strong>, and she brought magnificent home made (by her daughter) cupcakes – we of course sang the requisite HB2U song. Once again Happy Birthday GG. It was in fact Ross’s turn to host, and he supplied nibblies earlier despite being absent for the meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The main game That’s Broadway<\/em> was marred a bit by complex rules that had been significantly updated with hand printed notes from the original as a result of weaknesses that would have come to light during earlier meetings. There were even contradictory statements between two rules. As a result we spent far too much time interpreting rules instead of playing the game. It was won convincingly by Genelle<\/strong> who ended up with about 50% more funds than Wayne<\/strong> in 2nd place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The backup was old favourite Pass the Pigs<\/em> – also won by GG<\/strong> in a double whammy which has lifted her from the middle bunch on the scoreboard to within striking distance of Tara <\/strong>and Rob<\/strong> at 1 and 2 on the ladder. I have the piggy score sheet in front of me and it looks like Wayne takes the cake for “pigouts” – 11 out of 14 turns. Everybody else pigged out 6 times out of 14. There’s a reason for this – once Wayne realised he was trailing in the scores he had no choice but to take more risks which of course makes it more likely to go bust, such is the nature of the Pigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tara<\/strong>‘s two consecutive absences have allowed her giant 185 point ladder lead to be whittled down to just 35 points. Just look at the scoreboard – in the middle there’s half the membership squashed into a 10-point wide bunch. Steve<\/strong> is lagging at the bottom not through lack of talent or luck, just through not actually playing games. Come on Steve, we want to see you at the gaming table some time, hopefully in August when you’re the host! (Covid permitting of course)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" GG – double whammy in minimum quorum Minimum Quorum – that was our attendance at the July meeting, just the four of us.
