A cool and damp evening in late Autumn saw us once again at the Jannali Gamerdome to play Peter’s<\/strong> choices – Gallop<\/em> and Billionaire!<\/em> Nicole <\/strong>was a late no-show despite last week’s false alarm in which she couldn’t make it on May 11, then rejoiced on finding out the meet was May 18. How frustrating for you Nicole<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gallop<\/em> went off well, and we discovered a rule that we’d been routinely violating – it is in fact compulsory to follow an available track if one is available. One could be given a Steward’s Inquiry card if deliberately choosing a blocked path when a clear path is available. The game was won easily by Wayne <\/strong>– this puts him tied with Rob <\/strong>in 3rd place. Our April leader Louise <\/strong>(WHP) has been overtaken by Tara <\/strong>who scored two helpings of points tonight with two second placings. Also with two lots of points, Matt <\/strong>has increased his gap from the bottom ladder group. Also scoring a WHP are Val <\/strong>and Rob<\/strong>, both of them getting no points for two consecutive months. We had an aborted round in Billionaire! <\/em>when Rob <\/strong>called one only to find he was one card short of a full hand, possibly short changed on a quick trading frenzy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We had a good news flash when Wayne<\/strong> announced that he’s due to pick up his new hearing aids this week – murmurs of “about time” went around the table. Wayne <\/strong>also previewed his new creation “Swashbucklers<\/em>” which is on the June program along with another untried game UNO No Mercy<\/em>. June will be an interesting meet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Galloping Billionaires!
