After getting CHIPS I decided that today’s topic had to have something to do with casinos and gambling, which was more or less on the right track.
Thanks to the brevity of many of the game’s words, I was able to do the search fairly quickly, stopping only for SPINNERS, which eventually made me realize that the GAMENIGHT in question was actually about analog board games.
I love board games, but I lack the patience to complete most of them; the same character flaw is also possibly the reason why I have never watched a full game of cricket, start 100 times more books than I finish, and check the length of a movie before committing to visiting a cinema. Frankly, it’s a miracle to get to the end of the Strands game.
