UVSC Session Report
August 20, 2018 (Session #193)
(authored by BJ)

We had new attendees yet again this week, friends Kasia and Ella, who
played a game against each other before heading out for dinner.  Adelie
also played a game (against me), her first in a while.  I helped her out
a little but she is pretty good at the mechanics of the game, and just
needs some practice in taking advantage of the scoring multiplier
spaces.  Ellen, Mike, and Iliana rounded out the attendance, and the
group recorded a bunch of high non-bingos, such as DOXIES for 63 by
Ellen, AZONS for 72 and HOWF for 65 by Iliana, and ZEDA for 72 by Mike.
I managed the high play of the night, squeaking out a victory with the
out-bingo of CONVOLVE for 98, though I passed up the 3x3 UNCLOVEN# for
167 because I doubted its validity -- darn!  Iliana had a similar
situation at the end of a game, passing up the 167-point 3x3 ARTEFACT
(an alternate spelling of ARTIFACT) for a different play due to some
uncertainty.  But overall we had plenty of good bingo words to make up
the difference, including: LEVITIES, TROWELS, TEALIKE, REBUTTED,
BERIMES, RESINATE, BANTIES, ROTATION, FROTTAGE, PERINEA, LEMURINE,
GARROTS, STARNIE#, UNIONIZE, VIADUCTS, WORDIER, OUTLAND, MASTERS,
TUNABLE, TABORIN, ANTHERAL, and LOVESEAT.
