Boardless - A Pointless Game

@Kolido thanks so much. those questions were great.

mid table mediocrity suits me just fine 😊

@cdeb well deserved winner. i was annoyed by early cup loss, but you went on to dominate.

Absolute kudos to the winners. An excellent game Kolido. Really enjoyed it even though I was woeful. Knots Landing AND Dallas got me in the last round. What a way to finish with a 30 score. Sums up the game for me.

Congrats @duffman13 and @cdeb! Now...

Sorry guys, wasnt on last night. Happy to play the super cup for the craic. Fluked my way through the first couple of rounds of the cup.

Well done @cdeb some consistency throughout

@Kolido, thanks for the game, it was extremely fun, I love pointless and this was an excellent twist on it

Nothing surprises me now

Thanks for great game @Kolido and well done to the winners! Looking forward to more games in the future.

Kolido

If @cdeb and @duffman13 can pick one category from these, I will rand the third. The final will be a best of 3. Will explain it better when I put the boards up.

Chemistry

Bond

Teams

Bands

Cinema

cdeb

Hmmm. I'll go with Teams, seeing as I lost on a teams tiebreak...

duffman13

Teams would have been my first choice, so happy with that. Cinema please,

Kolido

Ok so here is how the final will work. The scoring remains the same, the 11th and 12th are pointless and there are 3 wrong answers, you also pick 2 answers per board. Where it differs, the first answer you pick on the board, will go up against the other players first answer, whichever one is better, wins the board. If you both pick the same answer, both pointless answers, or both wrong answers, we move to your second answers, if it is still not won, the board is drawn. If a player wins two board they are champion. If there is no clear winner aftwr 3 boards, it will be like a good old fashioned charity shield and you both share the super cup. Hope that makes sense, if nit, just play it as normal, leave the rest to me

Kolido

Board 1

Name 2 of the 12 sports on the board with the least number of players per team

The sport with the least players is worth 10 points, next least 9 points

The sports with the 11th and 12 least are pointless

The 3 sports with the highest number of players are wrong answers

Board 2

Name 2 of the 12 most recently released movies on the board

The movie released most recent is worth 10 points, you kniw how it goes, 11th and 12th are pointless while the 3 oldest movies are wrong

For the purpose of this question, we are not including any remakes

Boards 3

Name 2 of the 12 most recently formed bands on the board

The band formed most recently is 10 points, 11th and 12th are pointless and the 3 oldest are wrong

For the purpose of the question, we are including only the year the band was first formed, doesnt matter if they no longer exist, went on hiatus or how many years they were active

Kolido

Players no longer in the game can also send me answers, I will post your scores

If answers are in tonight, I will run the reveal, or tomorrow night is fine, take your time

cdeb

Right, I'm in anyway!

Not massively confident here… (Or am I just playing silly mind games with Duffers? 😃)

In too, sorry on my hols and was out for dinner last night.

Confidentish on 1 question a curveball or two in there, the last question was an effort to not hit a 15 tbh, went safeish on that one.

Kolido

Great, I will do the reveal after necro's squid games tonight. A few others have sent in answers, still time if anyone else wants to

Kolido

Reveal on the way. I'm lucky to be here at all, necro dropped me through a glass bridge but I held on with my fingertips untill he came to his senses and helped back up. The war monger

Kolido

Leg End Reject

Congrats @cdeb on the win and to @duffman13 for getting so close.

cdeb

Sweet!

Scored a double zero on the teams and bands - had a feeling I had the bands spot on but the teams was a surprise

Unlucky @duffman13 - and thanks again @Kolido ! That was a great game. Though I suspect if some of those questions were set 20 years, I'd have not done remotely as well. The be questions suited me, as they say 🙂
