Tiddlywinks Championship results

World Singles

Matthew Rose (UK) defeated Dave Lockwood (USA) - 5 games to 1

I thought Dave would have put up a much better effort but he was well beaten - 28.5 to 13.5 overall in the 6 games played

World Pairs

Jon Mapley/Matthew Rose ( UK) defeated Patrick Driscoll/Andy Purvis (UK) - 4 Games to 3 - 25 to 24 overall in the 7 games played

An all UK affair with no quarter asked for or given which went down to the wire - game 7 - Matthew Rose capped off a successful couple of days by winning both the singles and world pairs championship.

Just as riveting as a game of baseball.

Tiddlywinks for the Olympics perhaps? - lots of winkers around the world and Australia has a Tiddlywinks Association.

I was going to post a thread for the Monopoly World Championships - the video's are rather long though - 2 to 3 hours plus

Only 2-3 hours? Our family monopoly games go so long we have to spread it out over a few days. Mind you I’m a very mean monopoly player, anything to do with money management and economics is my forte. I couldn’t imagine watching a game though, not without playing.

Haha yes I used to work with heap of economists and can confirm they love their boardgames (and trivia)

One (the tech dude who did all the complex modelling who was probably on the spectrum) had a massive room full of games, which he played daily (and brought to work for periods when we did a lot of all nighters). He was the master of board games and nobody ever got close to beating him.
