A tough game with relatively less participation in setting and voting compared to the last one . We received 27 entries from 24 setters in all.
Chanagrams were the most popular choice of our setters with charades a distant second.
We received just 21 votes for this game which was a tad disappointing.
Here is the summary of the votes received

Special mention to the “Hair oil massage and trimming must get ticklish” clue from the Others list – it got 2 votes ! 4 more clues from the Others list got a vote each!
The bronze goes to Ramki’s stripping divers silver to Aakash for not trusting a heart breaking liar and the gold goes to Supriya welcoming the French Royal.
