On a cold night at Macquarie Park there were just six of us to battle it out – Wayne<\/strong> was absent due to theatrical rehearsals, and Gill<\/strong> is occupied with her new baby.\u00a0 Our host Genelle<\/strong> was packed and ready to depart on her epic holiday, part of which involves walking about 300km across England!\u00a0 There were two main changes of position after this meet – Tara<\/strong> has overtaken Louise<\/strong> to sit only 25 points behind the lead, and Genelle<\/strong> has overtaken Mark<\/strong>, but only by 25 points. Jordan <\/strong> has caught up and tied with Gill.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sherlock Holmes<\/em> was a fairly close game with only 23 and 31 points separating the placegetters. Tara <\/strong>took the lead early by taking a punt on Rob <\/strong>harbouring a villain and making an arrest, only to discover to her delight he was sheltering two<\/span> of them.\u00a0 She came unstuck in the last round with the worst score of the game so far – 110 points, but was far enough ahead to win anyway. \u00a0Louise<\/strong>, although liking this game, still has trouble holding in her head all the info about what each card does and finds herself reading the rules almost continuously. She was going to pick it for a second consecutive month (she’s the next host) in order to familiarise herself with it more effectively, but this won’t happen because it has now already been played twice in 2018.\u00a0 Jordan<\/strong> although new to the game picked it up quite well and came 3rd – well done.<\/p>\n The backup – still unsure if it’s pronounced “Digit<\/em>” or “Dig\u00a0it<\/em>” – was challenging, there was lots of hard thinking going on.\u00a0 When time was up it was apparent that there was a 3-way tie for first place!\u00a0 Unable to figure out how to arrange a digit-off to break the tie, mainly because there’s a distinct advantage to having first turn, we resorted to drawing numbered tiles from another game – that’s how all the backup placings were determined.\u00a0 The only WHP<\/em> tonight was Mark<\/strong> who played consistently through both games, but luck eluded him.\u00a0 He showed off his new Lexus on the way out, very nice, practically drives itself, so although he WHP, at least he WH in great comfort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tara wins Sherlock On a cold night at Macquarie Park there were just six of us to battle it out – Wayne was absent due to theatrical rehearsals, and Gill is occupied with her new baby.\u00a0 Our host Genelle was packed and ready to depart on her epic holiday, part of which involves walking about … Continue reading “Meeting 6 August 2018”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-meets"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sbgagames.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sbgagames.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sbgagames.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sbgagames.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sbgagames.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.sbgagames.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":261,"href":"https:\/\/www.sbgagames.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257\/revisions\/261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sbgagames.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sbgagames.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sbgagames.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
