Once again we gathered at Nicole<\/strong>\u2019s for Tara<\/strong>\u2019s hosting turn (Tara\u2019s house is in pieces, under renovation) – thanks Nicole. The SBGA graffiti I left on the blackboard wall in March was still in place! The backup was old fave Billionaire!<\/em> – Won by Tara.<\/strong> Two lots of points were won by Louise<\/strong> – a 3rd and a 2nd placing. Genelle <\/strong>got 3rd in Billionaire!<\/em> Last month the Z<\/strong> sisters were in a tie at the top of the table, and they both scored 50 points tonight, so Nicole<\/strong> & Tara<\/strong> remain in a tie on 200, but Rob<\/strong> has sneaked past to reclaim the top spot by a mere 10 points, so no surprises if he gets knocked off that perch again in May. The WHP’s tonight were Wayne<\/strong> and Mark<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Genelle<\/strong> has once again done her thing of introducing new and interesting games to the club by picking a game for May that is somewhat quirky – it has no fixed title! She tried to explain it by saying it has elements of Charades and Pictionary, but left it at that – all will be revealed at the next meet. For want of a better title, we’re calling it Silly Game<\/em>. I for one am quite intrigued. If it goes pear-shaped (unlikely according to GG<\/strong>), she is trying to source a new variant of the old favourite Uno<\/em>, called Uno Flip<\/em>. Read about it HERE<\/a>, sounds quite interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" El Trez back on top, but…That’s Broadway needs work Once again we gathered at Nicole\u2019s for Tara\u2019s hosting turn (Tara\u2019s house is in pieces, under renovation) – thanks Nicole.

We played That’s Broadway<\/em>, and although we’ve played it previously, it soon became evident that the game requires some serious tweaking to make it more even. El Trez<\/strong> won it by a large margin, but more than half the players were severely handicapped for most of the game by not having a full set of “essentials”, and according to the rules, unable to collect income. In fact, the game became so unbalanced that we opted to finish it early. There were several suggestions for improvement, including a reduced income for missing essentials, instead of zero income, and the opportunity to choose needed<\/em><\/strong> essentials when landing on the “add essential” square, rather than take the random card from the top of the deck.
El Prez<\/strong> plans to implement some improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
