Another fun night of KingTrivia at Strand Brewing Co,. As usual Felice Catering was there, serving up their delicious wood fired neapolitan pizza.
Well right off the battaca, Gattaca was on the attackaca and doubled successfully, got the 2 points for being registered and scored 14 points in round 1. From then on it was a up to the rest of the pack to stay with them.
Had a new team called Brewnetters and though they stumbled a bit out of the gate they finished strong and had a respectable 32 points.
For the beer round we played "Fruit by the Foot in Mouth" and man some of these folks can really gobble up those treats. DaNile was the fastest however and got some fresh Strand brew to take home. Whenever I play this one, it makes me laugh how many people ask if the can have a Fruit By The Foot to eat, must remind them of being a kid
Gattaca stayed steady and strong but the rest of the pack was nipping at their heels throughout for sure. In the end they were tough to overcome and took home the 1st place gift certificate for the 2nd week in a row, nicely done! 2 of our other regulars were right behind with TriviaAmigos taking 2nd and Great Minds Drink alike 3rd.
All for now, Peace and Trivia to you all
Once again a great night of KingTrivia at Strand Brewing Co. in Torrance. Felice Catering was also in the house serving up their delicious Neopolitan wood fired pizza.
9 teams strong and all got off to a good start through the first 2 rounds. Started to get interesting when Gattaca and DaNile each doubled in Round 3 and nailed it. This pushed them into the lead heading into "Guess What". A new group called Pussy Posse, a very fun group of ladies, felt confident after the 10 point clue and jumped up with their answer. Unfortunately they missed it and dropped them back a bit but the hung tough for the remainder. Most of the teams got it by the 4 point clue but Gattaca stayed strong and got it on the 8 point.
For the beer round we made paper airplanes and had some great flights. Had 2 teams actually go backwards so I joked that they owed us the free beer! In the end DaNile would not be DeNied and tossed the winner. Had one team with some pretty impressive glide time but sadly most of it was to the side and not straight ahead.
Except for 2 teams it was a battle for the Top 3 spots heading into Round 7. Pussy Posse finished with a strong 44 and took 4th but had a great time. TriviaAmigos had an off night and finished with 35 but as always made me laugh with some clever answers. A new registered group call Foodies R Us finished with 41 and it was nice to have them with us. The highlight came when Holding On For Beer Life, trailing by 20 heading into Round 7, doubled correctly and got the 2 extra points for turning in their pen for an impressive 22 points, propelling then to a tie for 2nd with DaNile. But on the tie breaking question their guess was over the number and DaNile pulled out 2nd. And that left Gattica, one of or regulars, taking home 1st and the coveted picture with IronMan.
All for now, Peace and Trivia to you all

Another great turnout for KingTrivia at Strand Brewing Co. in Torrance. Once again Felice Catering was in the house serving up some delicious wood fired pizza to the teams.
A nice mix of regulars and newcomers all eager to have some fun. Round 1 started off all even then in Round 2, DaNile and Great Minds Drink Alike showed their true colors by doubling correctly and jumping out to an early lead. Those 2 battled for the top 2 spots the remainder of the way with the difference being, in the Guess Who round, DaNile couldn't come up with the name so taking a zero cost them 1st place!
Had a very fun beer round, playing who could eat the Fruit By The Foot the fastest with no hands! The dude on Quiz On My Face was like a vacuum and sucked that fruit up incredibly quick to take home the free brew. Not far behind was My Friends Put Out and even he was shocked at how quick the winner was.
In the end Great Minds prevailed and proved once again they are a tough team to beat.
All for now, Peace and Trivia to you all
