Tonight’s game was super fun. We had returning teams Missfits and Scratch and Sniff, plus some new players!
Nerds everywhere collectively groaned when a team mistook Star Wars for Star Trek. But there was a question or round for everyone tonight. Each team seemed to have a person in their midst with some niche knowledge that came in clutch. I love to see someone surprise their friends with some out-of-pocket facts!
Not only did Team Goblins get the Dante question right, but correctly spelled his last name - Alighieri. Their team member Harrison seemed to have been waiting his whole life for this question to arise.
The love questions were difficult for a lot of people, but we had some valiant guesses. Team Fellowship of the Beer guessed Mr. Poet! Which… I mean…. not completely wrong? But also very much not right. Bold of them to assume it would be a man 😉 hehe.
The Han Solo question was my favorite because only one team figured it out before clue 3. But when the word “Jedi” was mentioned EVERYONE figured it out all at once. I love a collective realization!! A loud one at that!!
Almost every team was able to draw the steak connection during round 5… except Team Missfits who guessed… Tom Cruise? It’s okay, they still get mad respect because they guessed Han Solo before anyone else did.
All in all, it was a great game and I’m throughly enjoying getting to know all the Marco Polo regulars.
