This was easily the best game Rasselbock has seen since starting King Trivia. Every single round brought a change to the leaderboard.
Newcomers We're Just Here for the Beer and Kawhi-nasty brought some youthful energy and daring to each set of questions, throwing down Doubles with abandon. This put our returning champions Kobayashi Maru and I'm Not Sure How to Pronounce This Name on their heels.
The big turn came after the pancakes hit the floor. The Appetizer Round saw an old favorite: What's the strangest thing you have in your pockets? Dwayne the Pet Rock crushed it with a homemade game (that will soon sweep the nation, you just wait).
Coming into the final rounds, the teams grew bolder and hungrier. They threw out stranger and stranger guesses, until the scores were neck and neck coming into the last round.
After a very difficult bit of geography, the leaderboard solidified. Kawhi-nasty threw down an unstoppable score of 62, with I'm Not Sure How to Pronounce This Name and We're Just Here for the Beer only a point away.

The small games can sometimes be the most intense. With only three teams, each round brought a new leaderboard and new stakes.
Kobayashi Maru, absent last week, came to play with a roster of champion trivia masters, but I'm Not Sure How to Pronounce This Name had a title to defend, and they weren't about to give it up easily.
But it was the newcomer group, Team Random, cobbled together at the very last minute, who played with the proper motivation.
It came down to a crucial decision in Round 6, when the fresh-faced group doubled down on a risky collection of literary characters. It paid off, launching Team Random into first place for the rest of the game.
Come be a part of the action at Rasselbock, where every Tuesday at 9 PM is TRIVIA TIME!

An intimate evening at Rasselbock turned into a battle of wills as veteran team I'm Not Sure How to Pronounce This Name went up against King Trivia newbies Blindside!
Things started slow, with INSHtPTN off to a fine start against Coys, Bar Queen, and the uncertain alliance known as Meyers. After two rounds, Meyers opted to "go back home to get ready for work," leaving their six points to wither on the vine.
Coming into the appetizer, we challenged our teams to determine how many characters (letters and spaces) existed in the longest book on record "Swann's Way." Asserting their dominance once again, INSHtPTN collected a well-earned plate of potato pancakes. The other teams were visibly jealous.
Things turned moving into round 5. Newcomers Blindside had missed the first two sets of questions, but they were quickly closing the gap in points. INSHtPTN felt pressure for the first time, and they started second-guessing their answers. All at once, it was anyone's game.
Coming into the final round, an 18 point swing could have changed the landscape entirely. That, however, is not what happened. INSHtPTN easily took the lead with 37 to 20, cementing their victory and proving once again that Rasselbock is the place for the best trivia on the West Side.
