Tichu is seriously popular lately!
The natural order of Stephensons Rocket was restored.
Last week I neglected to report an amazing incident: we had not 1, not 2, but 3 unplayable tiles drawn in a single game! It was freaky.
Now that I've played Capitol, I know that it's Capitol and not Capital. A good game, though it took a while.
A reminder: please write and spell clearly when recording game results, make the scores and ranks clear, and remember last initials for people with common names, thanks! Please be clear about Jonathans, Wendys, Bobs, and Tims.
Meta Party Game ResultsPJ was the Meta Devil! Due to email failures and miscommunications, no Meta Game was emailed out.In an effort to help rekindle PJ's popularity after he left everyone so bitter and disappointed, I decree that this coming week's meta game shall be The Play With PJ Game. You earn a meta point for each game you play with PJ. Tie breaking is based on # games you ended ranked lower than PJ. Further ties are broken randomly. If PJ doesn't show up, then next time he does show up, we get to tie him up, cover him with hot mayonnaise, and leave him outside the city limits. |
