Walympics (number 34)

Day 8 - Mario Kart on Wii
Final day of the Walympics.

We borrowed 2 wii remotes from the Laybournes (thank you) so that we could all race at the same time. We all used our Mii's and had the same style kart. The game picked out 4 random races for us the complete. Depending where you finish (out of 12) in each race, the computer allocates scores. Therefore the winner is the person with the highest score.

George played his joker which will double his score.


George won, Dad second, mum third and Sophie fourth.

So final scores are:

Day 3 at the Walymics

Game 1: Lego racers











We each had to build our own lego car to race down a slope. The car has to have a person (individual) on/in it. We have 4 races and the most distance travelled overall is the winner (4 points etc)...

Here are some pics of our cars:


Me and my car - two people in it. I played my trump card - gives me +3 points

Iain and the Baddy bus. He is playing his joker card (double points)

George and his winged dragon car

Sophie and her car.

The car starts at the top, is let go and travels as far as possible on the kitchen floor. Measurement are then taken.


Here is the official track and measuring of the distances

Day 2 at the Walympics

Game: UNO

Today was day two of the Walymics. We decided on playing UNO. Rules were agreed before we started (please note Iain!!). We are going to play 4 games so that we each start a game. The winner is the person with no cards left. Once the winner has shouted 'I've won' the other players then add up the scores on their remaining cards. Then after each game we add these scores together. The overall winner is therefore the person with the least score at the end (not the person who won most often!!).

Here we are playing:





Here is the score table:

As you can see I won overall as my final score was the lowest. Although I won less games my cunning and game play meant I always had small scoring cards at the end. Unfortunately other players didn't play this way!!

Therefore I got 4 points, George- 3 points, Dad- 2 points and Sophie- 1 point.

Overall scores so far:

Day 1 Walympics
Today was the start of our family games day (it is going to be a number of games over a number of days!). We have called it Walympics - yes very sad - after Wallace and Olympics!!

Some rules:

No moaning about losing or it not being fair etc... If anyone does this they get a yellow card. If anyone does this twice then its a red card and you are disqualified from the game you are playing!

Sophie made the cards

George is showing them.

For each game the scoring is as follows:

The winner gets 4 points
Second: 3 points
Third: 2 points
Fourth: 1 point

We each have a joker and trump card. Each can only be played for one game.

The joker card doubles whatever score you get. So if you think you will win then play this.

The trump card give you 3 points (on top of whatever you get). So you should play this on your worse game.

Today we played Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic games 2010 on the Wii.

We played 4 games all together but will calculate an overall winner for this one game.

Games: Dream Bobsleigh, dream snowboard cross, ski jump and ice skating.

Action shots:



  
(this is the best shot of me - and its not great!)

So this means George wins today and overall takes away 4 points.

This seems complicated but means the scoring should work out when we play a game that is a single game such as Kerplunk.
