Total failure…I had no idea which of the possible yellows was the odd one out, and didn’t have the patience to keep guessing.

This one was challenging for me. Finally figured out purple and the rest mostly followed (although WAR as game of chance was pretty lame. Again switched yellow and blue for what I am going to call Marvin’s Rainbow - it makes me very angry.

I saw purple moments too late for the RR. Very little trouble with this one though.

I found it difficult. But saw purple first and slowly sussed out the rest.

Yes, since it’s boring and can take an hour to complete a round. People actually bet on the others. No one gambles on “war” and no one plays it except small children.

I don’t know if it’s still available, but years ago when I was in Vegas, WAR was indeed a table game on which you could place bets.

WAR is an extremely simple card game mostly played by children, relying exclusively on chance.

Huh. What an extraordinarily boring way to bet.

Thursday’s game was stupidly easy. It was hard to guess which was yellow.

Sub-minute easiness.

Thought i knew the color order. Did not know the color order.

Couldn’t resist the red herring.
Vert easy after that.

Didn’t see that at all. But I think I’ve worked it out as being the Born In The USA album cover.

No errors despite never having heard of Christopher Lee or Lapis lazuli

Yep, I fell for it too. Shoulda taken more time before I clicked. But it flowed easily after that.

Once again. I had all 16 sorted, but couldn’t guess the order of difficulty.
