Five Crowns<\/em> was popular with all except for Wayne<\/strong> who by his own admission doesn’t quite get it, but thanks to help from Tara <\/strong>he managed to beat me back into last place! It was a close run game with the top three placegetters often separated by only 2 points, and the lead changing almost with each round. In the end it was Tara<\/strong> who won followed by rookie Pete<\/strong> then Matt<\/strong>, who scored the most zeros (ie; went out first).
Then there was Scattergories<\/em> for four rounds – it had its usual share of controversy, for example the argument about whether “octopus” qualified as a “fish” had to be settled by a vote – that vote went 4-3 in favour of Tara getting the octopus point which avoided a “Scatter-off” to resolve a tie with Rob<\/strong> who ended up in third place by 1 point.
Wayne<\/strong>, Louise <\/strong>and Genelle <\/strong>WHP, and just look at the ladder graph – Tara<\/strong> has won two main games in a row and is now well ahead of the rest of the pack. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
