Yahtzee with Granders

Eric was a super lucky dog. He played Yahtzee for the first time, he had two large straights, took away 70 points, he claimed a total of 173 points, and became the Yahtzee Champion among Granders Thursday evening, the 21st.

The second party after the regular meeting always brings granders closer, like buddy and buddy, heart to heart. This evening was no exception. After the in-house evaluation contest, eight granders and two guests stayed for the second party at the Mos Burger.

Without much delay, Emily brought the Yahtzee sheet they played last time. She was the loser, entitled to have a second chance this evening. She was desperate to win the other first timers.

The eyes of five players were focused on the bamboo basket of dices only. Each player took turned to pray and tried his or her luck. Every player was involved with big excitements. We became an instant family on the Chinese New Year Eve with a lot of laughter and noise. Chinese have the gambling DNAs. We believe in our luck, we believe in our chance, and we believe in our future.

Eric won to nobody's surprise. He looked like the God of gamblers, and he became the winner of Yahtzee among Granders. Emily lost the first time as a guest and came back for the second time and lost again as a guest. She will be entitled to challenge her third chance. Being a guest to Grand, she decided to win the third game and join Grand as a member.

I was impressed by the life learning attitude of toastmasters in Grand this evening. I was impressed by the solidarity among Granders this evening. I was impressed how fast time flied when we were enthusiatic in new tricks this evening. I'm happy that Emily will be our future member because of Yahtzee.

Why go online to play Yahtzee with cyber strangers? Why lockup yourself in the bed room like an Otaku? Why not mark your calendar and come join Grand's in-house humorous speech contest Thursday evening, September the 4th?

In addition to listening to a lot of humorous speeches, you've got a chance to play Yahtzee with Emily. Before that study the Yahtzee rules carefully or contact God Eric for a piece of advice on gambling. See ya! Yahtzee!
