This is our take on a traditional poker run formatted style event but adapted to utilize the popular board game Yahtzee. Why Yahtzee? This game, unlike poker, keeps you in the game until nearly the very end whereas in poker a couple of early bad draws really kills any shot at coming out on top. For this event, we will start in Norfolk at Kitchenfinity at 10:30AM for check in. there you will receive your event tee, event sticker, score card, and route stops. They will also be serving a delicious assortment of brunch items so come hungry to grab a bite before we begin! From there players will go from stop to stop without skipping playing 2 turns at each. THIS EVENT IS NOT A RACE! We encourage everyone to take their time, cruise with their friends, have fun, and maybe take home some money! The top three scores at the end of the day will take home 60, 30, or 10 percent of the total pot. The event will close at our final stop, Farmhouse Brewery in Virginia beach where everyone can grab something to drink, maybe a bite from whichever food truck(s) are on site that day, and wait for us to announce our winners. This event is always a great time and an awesome way to experience/support some local automotive and eatery businesses so register today!
