Game played: Tumblin-Dice ( Ferti ) BGG Id: 16747

Eight of us this week so it was a good excuse to start with a game Julia had previously requested, Tumblin' Dice. Unfortunately, the dream team of Mark G and me were split up this time so we didn't get the chance to prove our dominance. We were also a bit concerned as to Nige's fitness and whether he might suffer another shoulder injury so we made sure he did plenty of stretching exercises before we started. The first round showed just how rusty at the game I have become as Guy and I scored just 3 points while NIge and Mark W surged out into the lead with 21 points. Mark G and Julia got their flicking fingers into gear in the second round and at the half-way mark, they led the field with 36 points while Andrew and Pete had amassed a paltry 8 points. They recovered a bit in the third round but Mark G and Julia held onto their lead. However, a barnstorming final round from Nige and Mark W saw them collect 36 points and the win. I had some questions over whether Nige was taking performance-enhancing medication to guard against injury but we gave them the benefit of the doubt.
