Team Skinny B's is still awaiting the grand return of Guy Marvel.

Team Fubar was anything but.

Team Clam Hammers had to go home early. It was past their curfew.

Team VP came for the victory points.

Team DMD stuck around for another round of drinks just cuz the game sounded interesting.

Team Bluballz looked like they were having a blast. Bluballz and all.

It was another great Friday night of fun at Champps!  We had 11 teams join us for the craziness.

Round 1 was based on Hink Pink.  Teams are challenged to come up with two rhyming words based on a clue and a required number of syllables.  Team Cranky Mother wasn’t so cranky when they put up a great score of 7.  Team Kick A** decided that their navel lint collection was more interesting and ran home to catalog it.  Team Skinny B(r)itches had a great run with a 6 point round.

Round 2 was based on Balderdash.  Teams are challenged to come up with the definition for obscure words.  If they get it before help it’s worth one point.  After multiple choice help, it’s worth 1 point.  Team 5 out of 5 had a great round and posted a score of 9.  Team Clam Hammers posted a strong score of 14.

Round 3 was based on a Mind Games Live! original: Out of Order. Teams are given a list of things and asked to put them in a particular order.  Team DMD posted an amazing score of 24.  Team Fubar had a strong round and managed a score of 22.  Team Bluballz was right behind them with a score of 20.  Team Crayon managed a huge score of 29.  First place went to Team VP who posted a massive score of 31 points.

Overall the night went to Team VP who managed a total score of 55!

Thanks to everyone who came out and played and made this a fantastic night of Mind Games Live!

Don’t forget that we’re going to be moving Mind Games Live! to Wednesday nights!  See you then!

Well, the Champps crowd is certainly is fun-loving!  And other than being the first night at Champps, there were a coupla other firsts.  It was the first time I’ve had to break up trash-talkin… between 10-year olds and adults!  Hah!  And the first time I’ve had to announce the departure of a team because it was past their bedtime.

Thanks, Warriors for  coming out… you missed winning round 1 by only 1/2 point.  We hope to see you back!

We started with the Warriors, Tugg, CSU, JTT, Still Employed and Limey John.  The game was Hink Pink and four teams made it a photo finish: with 8.5 points were CSU, Warriors and Still Employed, but Tugg scored a perfect 9!  Good job ladies!

Although the young Warriors had to take off, we gained Bootylicious, DJ Stew and Anil Ashish for round 2.  The game was Smart Alec, and we had scores all over the map on this one.  But with a commanding lead, it was Still Employed winning round 2.  And for the Bonus Beer Question, Still Employed shared some beer and the win with CSU.

So it became anybody’s game when Still Employed checked out… they had already been there quite some time before we even showed up to start Mind Games Live.  So the Dixie Chicks stepped in – they had been watching the early rounds and wanted to give it a go.

So round 3 featured the game Fast Figure and it put everybody to the test.  This time Bootylicious beat out DJ Stew by one point for the win.  But in the end for total points it was going to either be Tugg (the round 1 winners) or CSU (the BBQ winners) taking home the big prize.  And it was… CSU!

It was good competition and tons of fun!  Now that you know what’s up, we hope to see you back at Champps at Park Meadows.

Ciao for now,

- Keith

CSU - a little picture shy, but big winners!

Dixie Chicks - 2/3 of the team, took 'em a bit to get going

Tugg - the two die-hard members started off hot then...

Bootylicious - somehow I don't think that applies to all of them?

DJ Stew - our tech guy at Champps! Thanks!
