Louise wins a Ticket to Ride, blokes WHP.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was a cold midwinter night, approaching the shortest day of the year, but we were comfy at Nicole<\/strong>‘s playing a game new to most of us – Ticket to Ride<\/em>. I had played it a few times, consistently and soundly beaten by my son, and Nicole’s husband had also played it a lot, mainly the computer screen version – thanks to him for coaching us through the game and being El Prez<\/strong>‘s “engineer”. To top it off, Nicole<\/strong> provided my favourite dip (French Onion) and favourite lollies, (Violet Crumble or Cadbury Crunchy, same thing). Tara won Ticket<\/em> convincingly with Nicole <\/strong>and Louise<\/strong> in the placings. It was a late start for the backup Sherwood<\/em>, an old El Prez original, so we had only two rounds, and it finished in a draw between Louise<\/strong> and Nicole<\/strong> which Louise won on a tie-break toss. Tara<\/strong> was 3rd. El Prez <\/strong>and El Trez <\/strong>both WHP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the 50 points Louise won in Sherwood makes her the new competition leader, breaking the tie with Rob. Genelle<\/strong> was absent – in Melbourne getting acquainted with her new granddaughter. That absence without points has cost her – both sisters Z have overtaken her and relegated her to 5th place (see graph on home page).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the start of the meeting, El Prez previewed three new games he has produced. The Covid game Danger Zone <\/em>is on Genelle’s programme for next meet, and you’ve also met Bond & Beyond<\/em> here<\/a> in the news items. He has also resurrected an old one about Egyptology called Expedition<\/em> – one of his earliest creations re-manufactured. Here it is…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
