Well fair dues to you 👍 Going well so far even if I am sinking like a stone .

Uranus pulling me up 😳

The K's have been drip feeding themselves throughout this thread but this was their biggest offering so far. With 3 possible W's, Tony falls on the wrong side.

Big love to the Roscommon voters - EN and Aris 🤩

Cometh the hour, cometh the woman! (phew saved myself) - rainbowtrout hits the jackpot with Javelin and moves into a commanding lead. Hopefully there are no surprises lurking around the corner for her on our final two questions.

Molly is well and truly clear of the bottom now with Irish Aris the heavy favourite for the spoon

Congratulations rainbowtrout 🏆️ on winning the luxurious alphabet sheep with an utterly dominant display. Nothing Surprises Me Now performed very strongly to come in 2nd with jluv and Tony EH rounding out the podium in 3rd!

Irish Aris picks up the spoon narrowly over Strawbs. Molly was never in danger at all in the end 😁

Thanks everyone for playing. I'll be back with another Sheep again soon (probably a much shorter one lol)

I put a lot of thought into that one 😊

Congrats @rainbowtrout and tough luck the runners up .

Also well done @Irish Aris on the wooden spoon .

Thanks @Rikand for running this . Very good game .

I will have to work on my strategy

I always end up in the middle / bottom 3rd / somewhere of these games . 🐑🐑🐑

Irish Aris · 09-03-2026 08:28AM

This was fun!!

Thank you very much for organising, Rikand!!

And congratulations, rainbowtrout!!

Gru · 09-03-2026 09:06AM

Congrats Rainbowtrout! Well won!!

Great game that, thanks Rikand for running it. Just about avoided the spoon but enjoyed my brief time at the top 😄

HildaOgdenx · 09-03-2026 09:06AM

Great fun, thanks a million for doing it @Rikand

Congrats to all four medallists! And the wooden spoonist. 😁

Missed the reveal but amazed at my place at the end! I always start looking from the bottom up, to find my name. 😁

Mollyb60 · 09-03-2026 09:33AM

With that sort of performance I'm glad I didn't stay up for the reveal. Shocking altogether. I can't believe I wasn't last. I've lost my gaming mojo! Congrats to Trout and the top half of the table. Commiserations to all my fellow losers.

Huge thanks for running this Rik. Take a bow!
