Making Another Pitstop

Went Pitstop Cafe yet again today. They got an Ice Cream Buffet on for today. In fact, it was on for every Thursday 'til end of this month. The same gang from our last visit came again this time. Only that SW was replaced by FL this time, who also arrived later than the main group.

Everyone ordered 3 scoops of ice cream on our first serving, in addition to some finger food. In the mean time, we started playing a game called Yahtzee. This is a dice game. On every round, each players get to roll 5 dice for three tries. The scoring would based on pattern formed by the dice faces, pretty similar to those in poker, or the total points. This includes things like, 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, Full House, Straight etc... Halfway through the game, DT felt that the game did not involve a lot of interaction between the players. And so, we decided to switch game after like 4 rounds.

Next up, we played Taboo, as I found that another group of people was having lots of fun playing this while we were at Settlers Cafe on the other day. Somehow, we were not as enthusiastic enough, certainly not as animated. We went on to play Cranium, where we were divided into 3 groups, D and XY, DT and FL and S, StupidGenius and me. This game I had played before during one of my visits to Pitstop.

Finally we played another card game called Category 5. The objective of this game is to score as less point as possible, the first player to reach 73 points is the loser. Each player starts with a 10-card hand, and points are scored when a player put down the sixth card in a row. There are a total of 5 rows on the table. After the first 2 rounds of 10 cards played, D was way ahead with 61 points, however it was another 2 rounds of 10 before the game ended. D was the loser with 81 points, and DT was closing in on 72. FL scored the least points.

Over the course of gaming, everyone was pretty busy with their ice cream (it was a buffet, remember... :D). The servings come and go in a timely fashion. In the end though, SG ate the most with 14 scoops, and D 13. I had 12 scoops. Probably will stop eating ice cream for a while (maybe just for this week...) after this. Then went the coffeeshop opposite for supper. This time, I get to try the mincemeat mee sua S and SG had the other day. We chatted until past midnight before finally going home.
