"Probability"

Where were "6" and "8"?
"5" sure worked well! Eleven?
Probability!

 

That was about it

We wrapped up at 10.
We struck no chickens leaving!
Egg for Landry? Hmmm.

 

Miscellaneous

Thank you Joe with pen!
He tracks "probability"
without a slide rule.

 

Robbers plague Catan!
Who rolled a "7" the most?
Beej guilty of charge.

What attention span?
Too many words hurt our brains.
Here's a Catan meme:

 

And a color chart!
Feel shame at history guy,
you engineer types:

The lowest TONY, 17, was established twice in the evening. The most common was 20, established six times.

Much fun! Thank you all.
We ate too much. Tummies hurt.
Casa Beej in May!
