July 2, 2009 Session Report

We had a total of 11 in attendance for this past week's session, with Neil (a former club regular whom we haven't seen often since he moved out of the Laurel area) joining Christie, Ron, Paul, Jonathan, Mike, Doug, Greg, Clayton, Don and myself. We played a total of five different games: Parlay, Can't Stop, Automobile, Powerboats and Snow Tails.

The starting game was Parlay which only lasted a couple of hands as more people showed up right after we started. Paul had the high score of 190 after two hands; Mike and I tied for the first hand bonus and we checked the rules to confirm that both tied players received the bonus.

One group played Can't Stop, which was a four-player game won by Christie, ahead of Greg while Clayton and Ron were also-rans. Don, Mike, Jonathan, Paul and I played a game of Automobile which unfortunately didn't get finish and was picked up after finishing just three of the four turns. Scores were tallied at that point, which saw Don (4650) holding a commanding lead over Mike (3290), John (3130), Paul (2760) and Jonathan (2420).

The other group found time to get in a couple of race games, first of which was Power Boats, won (again) by Ron after Christie who appeared close to victory faded to second in the final few turns. Doug, Greg and Clayton rounded out the field. Then it was dog-sled racing with Snow Tails, and Neil emerged victorious in his only game of the evening, with Christie finishing second ahead of Doug, Greg and Ron fading to last proving he should stick to power boats.
