Classic Game Tales!
BreakScore® is a great fun game but it also can be very cruel game! BN picked up a zouch-proof boomer card, scored 380 points and moved to square 890, then she picked up the zouch card, "Roll 6 dice - No star go back to start". You can guess the rest!The highs and lows in BreakScore® are character building! With a zouch-proof boomer card up her sleeve, CB rolled a personal best BreakScore® of 470 points but came unstuck 'sadly' with the 6th boomer card in her turn ... "Zouch! - your turn is over."
Moving the wrong counter is a classic BreakScore® mistake. BF sat on 115 points which would have put her on square 165 ... the extra-turn square. Instead she advanced her opponents counter by mistake ... d'oh!
To overshoot the enzone is such a waste. BF in a Champ-Play game was on 620 points and then took the boomer card "Enjoying the game? - double your BreakScore®." which made a staggering 1240 points. Naturally the other players all said, "shame!"
There is one thing worse than overshooting the enzone. DN made a similar silly overshooting mistake but compounded it further by returning her counter to the start rather than leaving where it was ... d'oh!
New Yorker Albert Mosher Butts slaved for 17 years to get someone interested in publishing Scrabble.
MP an out of luck BreakScore® player sought guidance from PM, a canny silver ranked player who suggested in jest that an age-old visualization technique might help change his fortunes. MP convinced, actually slept for a few nights with a dice taped over his third eye!
Monopoly was first published in 1934 by Charles B Darrow and over 200 million copies have been sold since!
Game players it's better to be on the board than off it. SK rather than sitting at the first opportunity (and zapping her life partner back to the start) rolled on and zouched. To add insult to injury, when the game ended she was (unhappily) still on the start!
The first country outside New Zealand to receive games of BreakScore® was the tiny South Pacific island of Rarotonga.
JN a player on the up and up, made a classic mistake. Taking the zouch card "Great Game - tell your friends and have an extra turn", he read the card aloud but then forgot to take the extra turn ... d'oh!
BP made a classic BreakScore® mistake by deliberately aiming for and then landing on square 535 ... the miss-a-turn square. In game lore this square is forever named Polly's folly!
Silver ranked Fraser Black rolled a BreakScore® of 360 points but his then seven year old daughter Claudia did even better by rolling 420 points in the same game!
