News

I Did Not Consent To That
Memorable? The Train maximized excellent cards and earned a first place finish at nine up. "In blackest night," our all-time champion Green Lantern manifested a near win after paying more than a dollar in late penalties. Our guests? Our regular-elect lost playing respectably but watched a still spectacularly erratic Martian win five. No one knew what Marvin was doing, including Marvin. In one facepalming moment, he had to be told not to google the rankings of poker hands while actively playing. His win contrasted starkly with Batman's fifteen-down trophy take; the Dark Knight's cards were pure, unearned punishment. In what may prove to be the hand of the year, a game of Consent culminated in a showdown between three players, all holding straight flushes: Choo-choo's royal; your Padre's queen high; and the Dude's king high. Memorable? Certainly. Nonconsensual? Undeniably.

Racer X?
Speed hosted and the thunder and lightning was close to the course, making for an exciting night. A tree reportedly caught fire. Your Padre showed up in the role of his alter ego Racer X and was the only player to crack double digits up or down. Lucky cards fueled a very fast start, and he never looked back. Yet again, the chart tightens! Choo-choo took a two dollar D and finished one up for the night, while Doctor Doom, tied with Aquaman at nine down, declined to pay a full dollar for an unlikely derelict win and graciously accepted the loser's trophy.

Great Regulars, Good Guests, Tight Finish
Tuesday night was a table-load of fun. Two guests were on the deck, but they weren't parachutes. There was no loser throwing money at lucky regulars. In fact, by night's end, everyone finished in single digits. Batman, continuing his long climb from the bottom of the chart, finished first at eight up, and Tony Stark, our Iron Man, collected a first-to-last trophy at just seven down. A two dollar derelict win softened a small loss for Galactus.

The Deck Drinkers' Reunion
The Nemesis returned for the Deck Drinkers' Reunion & Battle Royale. He suffered his first loss of the year, finishing one dollar down. Mitch's two dollar derelict win lifted him to a tie with Speed for an eight dollar first-place finish, and an eight dollar loss left Doctor Doom holding the loser's trophy. The evening was warm but highly entertaining. Our Boy Wonder launched a humorous diatribe against players who talk inattentively through his announcement of the game being played, and your chastised host happily applauded and supported him. He was right. Now, if we can get our friend to announce his games when he actually starts dealing them, we won't all need to sit endlessly staring at him in silence or listen to him announce that he hasn't announced it yet. ;) Good times.

Go, Dude. It's Your Birthday.
The Dude returned to enjoy a pre-birthday music mix, a manspace celebration*, and a pre-derelict first place finish. A two dollar derelict pot lifted Doctor Doom to a tie with the birthday boy as both players ended five dollars up. (Doom is now positive on the chart.) The first-to-last phenomenon knocked Choo-choo down ten and left her appreciating the trophy's absence. It was a good night. Four regulars and two guests enjoyed themselves thoroughly while the guests' growing experience was evident: the Martian made a dollar; the Mohican lost five.

* "Wait. Are we not doing phrasing anymore?"
