Help, please!

Ever since the third time I heard "Thank you kindly," I felt there should be a game of Due South "bingo." Of course, we can't CALL it "bingo," but I think you get the idea.

Well, nobody else (that I've been able to find) has conveniently made my dreams come true,* so I finally decided to do it myself. Welcome to the wild & wacky world of

Now, if I get better ideas from y'all, I won't be using (I hope) some of my lamest elements, so not all of these will make it. If you can, make the element call short & snappy (but I can try to make it so if you can't). & if you have a clearer or cleverer call for any element I've listed, please let me know. I was running pretty low on ideas by the end there, as you can see. Thanks again, hope I'm not the only one to have fun w/ this.

Re: Chi-Shots

I'm pretty sure it's lake Ontario that subs for Lake Michigan, not Lake Erie.

Has anyone mentioned Dead!Bob? He could be his own category, or grouped with a supernatural one.

Also, I vote for a Kowalski category. :D

Thank you...

[themadblonde]

for the feedback.

For clarity's sake, the number of categories needs to equal the number of rows. That makes each element easier to find.

Sgt Robert Fraser is involved in a few elements (his journals, his advice, etc) so I think he's covered. I think I'll probably remove the alt/Lake element anyway- I'm not sure it figures enough to qualify for the first two seasons.

RE: Ray K. The third & fourth seasons really need their own game, w/ separate elements for Ray K, the "new & improved" Frannie, Dewey, Turnbull, etc. I have to admit I'm not as much of a fan of these seasons so I don't know them as well. This means that, if I ever get around to it, it'll be a lot more work for me, which I'd be willing, even eager to do if there was a demand, but so far only you & one other have been kind enough to express any interest, so, sorry, it might not ever happen. I do intend to make a more polished, 4 card version of this edition, & I do appreciate your feedback & interest. Thanks!

Re: Thank you...

My math arithmetic skillz aren't epic (understatement of the century), so I wasn't paying enough attention to the rows/categories thing.

I'm a fan of all of the seasons, so I'd love a 3&4 game, but I'm just as excited for a 1&2 game.

I think you're right about the lake element. There's only one reference to Lake Michigan I can think of that's a blatantly obvious shot of Toronto, and it's in the third season and so wouldn't count for this game.

Also, yay you for doing this. I'm excited to see how it turns out! :D
