Canada beats America
Adam Logan examines his endgame strategy
Originally uploaded by Word Freak. While many of you are following the World Cup of Soccer this past weekend, I was following the 2006 CanAm Challenge.
sneakyofverb, one of our Scrabble in the City regulars, helped propel Canada to a 51-47 victory.
You can follow the proceedings here. Check out some of the best tournament Scrabble. Many games were annotated, so you can follow along some of the incredible play-by-play action.
So you like to play Scrabble, but aren't quite at that level yet? No worries! I've got a Scrabble club just for you! Come check us out tonight at Kilgour's pub in the Annex. It's a casual club where people of all ages and abilities meet for fun and games. We even drink beer while we play!
Last week we celebrated the kickoff of the World Cup of Soccer with our Theme Word Prize, which was won by Max, who played ONSIDE. Honourable mention goes to Bruce's RIOT play. Tonight's theme TBA.
Please join us every Monday night for a casual game or two over drinks and/or tasty eats. The fun and games take place at Kilgour's pub on Bloor Street (just east of Bathurst). We start at 7PM and go 'til close to midnight.
Come for a game or come for a drink. Stay as long as you want. Meet other cool people. Throw down a few tiles as you knock back a drink or two. Play a theme word and win a cool prize!
Not everyone who plays with us on Monday nights is so competitive, so don't worry about how good you are or how many words you know. I provide a "cheat sheet" of all the 2- and 3-letter words to get you going, and there's a mostly casual, laid-back vibe at Scrabble in the City.
I hope you can join us.
