October 12 – 15, 2000
Here are my personal highlights and other factoids from GG VI:
Best new (for me) game played: Tichu
Most enjoyable game I lost: Die Macher
Most enjoyable game I won: Was Sticht
Favorite Costume: Frank as the Carabande Track
Favorite Contest: Guess the Swedish candies
Earliest bedtime over three days: 3:30 am
Biggest surprise: Played more old games than new games
Nicest Surprise: Hearing that Magnus and Sus were spending their Honeymoon and the Bergs their anniversary during the weekend
Most interesting prototype: Dia de los Muertos by Frank
Most heckling in any one game: Lowenhertz, played with Ken, Rich and Jon
Closest game: Chinatown with Marcia, Craig, Tim and Ward (Ward won by $2,000)
Surprise win: Take it Easy, since I typically stink at it!
Best exchange, non gaming:
At dinner with obviously live singing in the background, Derk says, “Oh, you have Karaoke,” to which the waitress replies, “No, that’s the band!”
