Mucho apologies about this, but we really only want one type of game thread running at any given time. Since there’s currently a Family Feud thread already going on, I’m going to temporarily close this one. When the other one ends, however, shoot me an e-mail and I’ll be happy to re-open this one.

[SkipMagic]

Zebra was kind enough to let me know that the other Feud thread was done, so I’ll re-open this one. Have fun!
