Spell "Banana"

We had Liz's parents over to see the house and play some games. Well, they saw the house, but we went out to eat. Once we got back we started in on the games. We began with...

Huggermugger 2-4 players or teams
On one of our regular game nights, when we had regular game nights, we went out to the nearby Gladstone Pizza to eat and play games.  We brought our own games, but they have a small game collection to select from. Most are trivia games and one of them caught Liz's eye. It was Huggermugger. After we played the game we brought, Liz wanted to play this. Unfortunately, the game was missing the instructions. I was glad because it didn't look like a game I'd enjoy. Later on, Liz added the game to here Amazon Xmas wishlist and someone got it for her. After I read the instructions, I realized I was correct in my initial assumption. It a word nerd trivia game. You roll a die and go around the board answering question about words and letters. If you can land in one of the 6 numbers spaces and answer a question right then you get to look at the corresponding letter of the mystery word. At anytime after looking at a letter you can guess the mystery word. If you're right, you win. Wrong and you're eliminated. The game comes with 90 different mystery words, meaning that by the time you play all 90 words you'll have forgotten the first word because it's been a decade since you've played the first game.

I began the game, but didn't make much progress. Once Liz had her turn, she was able to get half the letters. My next turn got me 2 of the letters. Thom and Carol were able to grab a few as well. By the end, Liz and I just needed the first letter. She was able to get there on her turn and win the game.

I don't hate this game, but I am at a large disadvantage. Liz does a lot of crosswords and is an amazing speller so she pretty much has this game on lock. She loves this game, but since I'm not crazy for it she doesn't try to force it.

Afterwards, we played Casino Yahtzee. In fact, we played 2 games. I won the first game with Thom 1 point behind me. Liz won the second game with Carol only a few points behind her.

Tally: 81/163  Bonus: 21/50
