And to foster mastery and permanent connection with the games, there will be a MAIN game that will be played throughout the month. The gamer with most wins for that game will be called an expert. As an expert, he is expected not to forget how the game is played and should always be ready to teach the game to a new gamer. For the month of August, the main game is Airlines.

Duwatabordz Wins Trivia Night!

Heavens, yes! The hope in the last post is no longer a hope but a reality. Duwatabordz places 3rd in last night's Trivia Night at Sprockets. Yay! It wouldn't have been possible without our fellow board gamers in a different trivia group, Albert and James. Thanks a lot for coming, bordz!!! You just made our 2nd trivia night awesome...and the next ones difficult??! Hopefully, no one would hope the same awesomeness in the coming trivia nights...@_@

Well, the awesomeness doesn't actually end there. The categories last night was varied and for some stroke of luck, it included a "50shades" category of which Charry and I have been acquainted with. Yay! Charry was awesome remembering things. And what about the boyfriend? He did well on the "Goodbye July" category. And there was that question about a song group, or was it band, that only Duwatabordz (the boyfriend) has the answer, "Uriah Heep". Our first time joiner, Banky, made a mark in the "Vintage Cartoon" category too. And the rest was in the trivia guru duo's hands, Albert and James.

But with awesomeness comes silliness (err, I don't know if I used the correct word :P)...

Aside from answering the questions, the team is given 3 special power. The actions are:

* Double - The ability to double the score.

* Block - The ability to stop other team from getting the score.

* Steal - The ability to steal other people's answer and get the same score if it is correct.

No verbal agreement within the team but it comes naturally that the only action that will most likely be of used to us are "Double" and "Steal". Don't do unto others if you don't want others do it unto you. Everything was great until the 2nd set when we received a "Block" from the leading team. It cost us 4 points. We were like "ooohhhhhs". Albert was screaming. And I was like..."..that was bad!" It really was bad. The feeling was strange and foreign. There was a standstill..then after a while, we were back on track.

We were always trailing the 3rd place. On the last set, more teams are blocking the team currently on the 3rd place including us. Speaking of my own view, I didn't really expect we would won. We nearly got nothing on the first category (Lyrics Trivia) of the last set. But we made a come back on the last 2 set, "Brands" and "Goodbye July". Still the comeback was not enough but plus the "Block" from the other teams to the previous set 3rd place team...(ooohhh....I don't know if that's really the case. Haha!)

Overall, it was a GREAT night. I don't mind if we wouldn't have that night again. What matters most is that we've been there! =)

James, July & James! (Jx3)

Banky, Charry and yours truly!

Spot It!
