A yearly chart on a daily basis
Posted: Sun Sep 08, 2013 8:00 am
I'm feeling nostalgic today. Anyone remember this old game?
I was able to find all threads. I think it was one of the more entertaining games we've had, with great great shows. I can definitely recommend you to read these threads (or at least pick a sample).
1951-1956 + rules
1957-1961
1962-1965
1966-1969
1970-1974
1975-1978
1980-1984
1985-1988
1989-1991
1992-1995
1996-1998
1999-2001
2002-2003
Sadly the game didn't continue with 2004, but perhaps someone would be willing to do it now?
