Re: Cow Bull 1
Very good, justlooking! I never noticed that!
...And very good to me for winning of course, but that's really just because of my playing style.
I let everyone else guess, then jump in at the end for all the glory. But whatever. It must be my turn again.

Re: Cow Bull 1
Maybe I am. Ganesh used to contribute heaps to this game, but now... 
Anyway, come on everyone, join in! It's no fun playing by myself... kind of predictable (I wonder who will win? I wonder who will host the next game?).
