Tonight, we went with a 1st round bonus theme based on Astrology and Horoscopes. Which team could use their sun sign and find the right answers?
Game 1:
Jersey! was back in the brewery tonight. They would be competing against some of our other regulars: Hot Tequila, Tequila is better cold, Simpletons, Low Expectations and The Yank and the Redcoat. We also had some new teams with: Smarty Pints, Old Farts and I hope this works.
2 Rounds in and we had a killer game going. Simpletons and Jersey were duking it out and knotted up at 11. Our 2 favorite Tequilas were in the mix at 7 and 9 points. Just in between we had The Yanks and the Redcoat sitting at 8. I hope this works was still reading the instructions as they had a rough go sitting at 4 points.
With 1 round left and 6 bonus questions, it was still to close to call. The Simpletons apparently read the stars and love signs as they got all 6 bonus questions. However, 4 teams got 4 out of 6. Would it be enough for the Simpletons, or would their round score sink them?
Low Expectations took round 3 with an amazing 7 points The Yanks, Hot Tequila and Smarty Pints all did well too with 6 points and the Simpletons netted 4. It was going to be a close game! When you look at the scores you see that 7th place to 1st place were all separated by a single point. 15 – 21, what a close game as a single point took you to the top 2 places or left you 3rd or lower.
CONGRATS to our winners the Simpletons! The 6 bonus points was enough to keep them in the lead and take 1st.
Amazing start to the night!
1st place Game 1 – Simpletons
2nd place Game 1 – Jersey!
Game 2: Bonus questions – Charles Dickens
Another game and a new team joining in on the fun! Welcome Revenge Tour!
The Yanks and the Redcoat seemed to channel their minds into an Illithid hive mind (yes nerd reference there) and get an amazing 13 points in the 1st two rounds. Simpletons were doing their best to stay in the mix or contend strongly for 2nd place and were sitting at 8 points. Jersey and Hot Tequila were in the mix for 2nd at 7 points. Smarty Pints may have had a few to many pints getting 0 points in round 2!
Apparently, The Yanks and the Redcoat got their Dickens on with 6 bonus points in the game. Jersey took 5 bonus points as well, but with only 3 points in the final round they fell to 4th place. Simpletons did well in round 3 with 6 points but only received 3 bonus points, just edging them out of 2nd place by 1 point. Hot Tequila got hot in round 3 with 7 points. Their 4 bonus points helped them edge out Simpletons by 1 for 2nd place. The Yanks and the redcoat took round 3 off with only 4 points but it did not matter as they had already solidified their place in 1st after 2 rounds.
Congrats to our winners!
1st place Game 1 – The Yank and the Redcoat
2nd place Game 1 – Hot Tequila
