This month\u2019s news comes to you from Matt – our new assistant Web guy. Updated by Rob from the Radisson Blu hotel at Zurich airport. Updates to score graphs etc will be done on my return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first game played was Dracula’s Castle<\/em>. Pretty decent game, easy to learn & fun to play. Wayne<\/strong> somehow had the luck of the dice on his side and was able to successfully challenge to win the movie titles he required. Fortunately for him he had a fair bit of assistance from other players, particularly Mother Theresa, so managed to score third place. Genelle<\/strong> did herself just enough favours as she only narrowly claimed second place by 135 points. Even after making two trips to the “Dungeon” (although one stay was cut short via means of Dracula making an appearance) and possibly setting a new record on low value dice rolls, Matt<\/strong> was able to pull off a win to claim first place by a measly 190 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Backup game was Genelle’s new purchase – Just One<\/em>. Securing a lead was tough and separating the standings was not easy, though Genelle<\/strong> did enough to scratch through with a 2 point lead and claim first place. It was decided that a dice roll off would determine the fates of Louise<\/strong>, Steve<\/strong> and Wayne<\/strong>. The first round saw Steve and Wayne tie and sadly, Louise<\/strong> was eliminated. After the second dice off, Wayne<\/strong> emerged victorious to claim second with Steve<\/strong> walking away with third to avoid a WHP. Leaving Louise<\/strong>, Tara<\/strong> and Nicole<\/strong> as September’s honorary WHP award recipients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After tonight, there has been a bit of movement in the table. Matt has jumped two places from\u00a0fourth to claim second and be only 65 points off the lead! He would also like to humbly state that he has now won the most majors this\u00a0year (3)…… so far \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n PS: Thanks to some late night computer work by Matt I was able to update the scoreboard graph and placings widget. It shows Matt overtaking both Rob and Tara to be second by only 65 points behind Louise. As advertised in the headline – the rookie has made his move! We\u2019re still in Z\u00fcrich, departing for Basel tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Matt Makes his Move This month\u2019s news comes to you from Matt – our new assistant Web guy.
