...where would this game go?

Game 1: - State Trees anyone?

It was a bittersweet evening at Cowtown as we bid farewell to the Mouseaholics.  They are not leaving PubGuys Trivia, but they are headed to a new venue closer to their house.  How would they fair on their farewell evening?

Mouseaholics must have been in a somber mood as they started the game with just 2 points in round 1.  No Folk and Chance took a quick 2-point lead over them and Pocket, The Yanks and the Redcoat and Hot Tequila were also ahead at 3 points.

This game we had a kitchen timer question, just to see how the teams did under some pressure.  Our BONUS question was worth up to 10 points and the teams needed to tell me what States have a type of Pine tree as their state tree.  There were 10 possible answers, 2 minutes were on the clock and cold they get more than 50% of the States.  This was a fun question for the end of round 2.  With 5 seconds left on the clock, No Folk and Chance barely got their answers turned in.  All the teams did great, and nobody scored more than 4 points on this bonus question, it was fun to see them rushing up to get their answer sheets turned in!  They were even polite and did not shove other teams out of the way.  Mouseaholics were making a move in round 2 with 7 points, gaining 2 points on No Folk and Chance!  Who would hang on??

Round 3 was where it was at!  The Yanks and the Redcoat were hanging tight at 11 points, just 2 shy of 1st place.  Hot Tequila went cold in round 2 with just 2 points.  With an awesome 8 points in round 3, Mouseaholics made a statement!  The Yanks and the Redcoat hung in there but fell short with just 3 points.  No Folk and Chance needed 7 points to tie and 8 to take the W.  They pulled out their brain boosters and wouldn’t you know it, they held on with 8 points as well to take the W!  What a great ending to the first game.

1st place Game 1 – No Folk and Chance

2nd place Game 1 – Mouseaholics

Game 2: Ireland bonus questions – YAY!

Game 1 in the books, a farewell tour and one last game.  How would game 2 go?  Hot Tequila, dejected by game 1, took a deep breath and came out hot in game 2 with an amazing 7 points.  Pocket, No Folk and Chance and Whiskey Rye were in the running with 5 points.  Not to be left behind, the Mouseaholics came out scattering with 8 fricking points.  They apparently wanted to make a statement on their last game. 

Bonus questions were all about Ireland, mostly whiskey and beer.  From Smithwicks to a 9000-year lease, we had it all and these would make the game for 1 team!

Round 2 threw some teams a curveball with nobody getting more than 4 points for the round!  The top 4 did not change positions, with 3 teams just 3 points behind the Mouseaholics.  There was time, there were bonus questions, and someone could make a move!  However, it was not to be.  In round 3, the Mouseaholics took the game with 8 points and an amazing 6 bonus points out of 8.  Hot Tequila got hot and matched their 8 points but with only 3 bonus points they could not overcome the deficit, but they did hang on and took 2nd place, 2 points over No Folk and Chance!  A fun night, a farewell toast and a great time had by all! 

1st place Game 2 – Mouseaholics

2nd place Game 2 – Hot Tequila

A huge thank you to the Cowtown crew for taking care of us all!  Gavin, Heather, Christiana, Addy, Jeff, Paul, Tim, and crew.  You all make my life easier by bringing the teams cold beer and hot food.

I look forward to seeing you next Tuesday, at Cowtown Brewing Co., from 7pm – 9pm for another fun night of PubGuys trivia!

Until then…
