In the pub, when I sober up tomorrow I must look at this 🙈🤣

[Leg End Reject]

I don't remember this at all! 🤣🤣

For trivial games, it's classic rivals lorc versus leggy

Lorcand1990 steals away all the points with the worst game ever invented - Monopoly (6)

Leg End Reject manages to take out some points but Blues split answers helped them - Poker (3)

[ari101]

We kick off the night with a round at the Cracked Barstool, with a variety of orders in from the FoGgies. We’re surely painting the town Red here. Two scoring answers get us off to a slow start, but the night goes on with the aces!
