Code Red but don't panic, it's only our special end of year GameCraft write-up! Friday, December 11 2015
A little bit of wind doesn’t stop GameCraft on Saturday, but seriously, thank you to everyone who made it though. It was some storm, and from me to you… that’s where the idea for the theme, Code Red, came from the red alert signal (Met Éireann). Although it can also be red for Santa, or a red button… so many possibilities!
Thx to everyone who came despite the storm. Big thx to @ditofficial and @skooter500 for arranging the venue! #GameCraft 🍕🌯🍬🍪🍫☕️🍏🎲🎮😃👏🙌

Hence the introduction of the constraint of “One Finger” which led to much groaning from around the room. That certainly brought a smile to Mick’s face as we raised the challenge of the theme.
After a number of enquiries about what constitute as “one finger” so as not the break the rules, everyone busily went ahead with their research or soldering as the case maybe with Owen. :-)

“Code Red: Corridor Simulator (Christmas Edition)” is complete! Yay! LMAO :D #gamecraft
