March Quiz - Answers & High Score
Oh what a riddle! Oh what a secret! A mystery of the very special kind! What was the topic of the last round?
Less than half of you had guessed it correctly...
Let's go back to the past. About two years ago I asked you in the bonus question about your "best gaming year", eighty people had voted then and delivered a very clear result:
Accordingly, I've been wanting to do a round on this topic for a while. And since we set a new record with 127 players, I consider the experiment a success.
Thanks to all who took part!
