Blockbusters - Trial Game (Game 0)

Baggly

Nice one. 1 more and I'll get it all setup later tonight. It will be in this thread so don't go looking for a new thread.

Baggly

Basq, any interest in another game?

quickbeam

How many do we have? I'd be happy to start with uneven numbers and if someone wants to play after we've started we can just add them to the smaller team.

Baggly

Putting kids down so won't be getting started until later anyways.

Basq

Busy day or two planned in work so I'm out!

Great fun though.

Questions were a little too tough. Some of them anyway. Don’t want them too easy but maybe a notch lower. As it was I don’t think there were any steals.

Thats fair.

Baggly

Ok so new board.



New rules:

I ask a question, anyone can 'buzz' in by quoting the question and saying buzz. Ill give them some time to answer the question, if they dont get it right, the other team has the same amount of time to steal. Keeping the time open as we need to feel it out a bit. Also might change depending on time of day.

Blocks dont have to be connected to the sides/other blocks you have won. Choose any block that isnt already answered.

Questions wont be as niche.

Dont answer in the same post as buzzing in. Someone might beat you to it and you will have given them the answer.

Ill insert a bonus round somewhere.

Ill insert a round where i give teams a choice of topic (sports, politics, history, music)

Reserve the right to pause the game until the morning....been a long day 

Hope thats ok. Any other rules you wanna try, let me know now!

Teams
Blues: QB, Kolido, Edser
Yellows: Osh, Guffy, BJ

I like that your hexes are alphabetical!!

Do we pick a number to see who goes first?

Can we confer after buzzing? I'd nearly suggest not as in the original the two person team didn't.

Okay to pause but won't be around much until tomorrow evening.

Edser

Sure put me down..

Yep pick between 1 and 3 there please.

Let's go with no conferring.

Baggly

Wait hold on there is no going first. It's buzzer time.

Baggly

If I have someone from each team confirm they are here in the next ten mins we will start.

Probably better not. So only buzz if you know the answer. Otherwise you’d have people just buzzing and conferring in the hope someone knew it maybe.

Baggly

Osh you happy to play a round or two even if the other lads are afk?

osh

Sure

Baggly

Ok we will start for the central block.

Correct. Choose a square Osh.

quickbeam

Around for a few questions but will then head to bed.

R please

Kolido

Quick question. If a player buzzes and gets it wrong. Can the other team confer for the time they have to answer? Maybe there might not be enough time to confer though?
