This was followed by <strong>Nicole<\/strong>&#8216;s <em>Hues &amp; Cues<\/em>, a game which I believe favours the girls due to their superior perception and naming of colours.  I&#8217;m sure there were at least two colours mentioned tonight that I had either never heard of, or that I thought were sea ceatures.  <strong>Wayne <\/strong>in particular had great difficulty with the concept of colours that weren&#8217;t either red, green, yellow or blue, and he was particularly offended by the lack of black or white on the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Hey Presto!<\/em> was led from start to almost finish by <strong>Rob<\/strong>, but by finishing with only one cheap magic trick in his collection his lead vanished as the values of collected tricks were added to the scores at the end.  <strong>Pete<\/strong> was the clear winner with almost double the score of <strong>Louise <\/strong>in 2nd place then <strong>Nicole <\/strong>3rd.<br><em>Hues &amp; Cues<\/em> required some re-familiarisation, but it went off smoothly apart from the way out names of some colours.
