Oh well that's me completely fucked then. I get Innis, Kirk and Dinos - is this a conspiracy?

No it isn't. They all waited till the end and inadvertantly created the group of death.

Here's another review (by yours truly)... Upon loading the game, you're presented with the 'blue set' theme (which you can skip past) and then onto the title screen. There are two modes: Full Game and Training Mode (I think). In full game there are five difficulty levels: Beginner, amateur, pro, cha...

Previously I couldn't come to colin because it interfered with my mensa test but they have since changed the date so I can come if my parents will take me. Which is likelyish. Watch this space.

If this goes ahead I'll probably go if it's on a day when I have nothing planned (any day when I'm not at school)

Noted.

I'm keen to see some of the other groups getting some games done though.

How about if you play 8 consecutive normal 15 rounders, you get eight shirts (regarding the cliché that you must buy many shirts if you are an octochamp) as an item idea? Amusing idea but I don't really want to create an incentive to not experiment. Maybe an item for playing a selection of variants...

Good idea, but generally it's 5 shirts I think. Not sure about other people though.

This probably needs a rethink.

Is there a list anywhere of all games with 3+ conundrums? This can be confusing at times as they are not always shown but presumably Damian has been keeping a list of all games and what the conundrums were?
