The Girls Decide To Leave The Main Room And Play A New Game
Did You Know? - Because of the February 3 date of Super Bowl XLVII, the 2013 Mardi Gras calendar in Orleans Parish was changed.
Parades scheduled for February 3 and before were moved ahead one week. The same situation occurred in 2002 when the 9/11 attacks caused a one-week delay in the 2001 NFL season, resulting in the Super Bowl XXXVI falling within the Mardi Gras parade calendar.
Who brought the game?
The games is called Left-Center-Right or LCR
Did You Know? - LCR, or Left Center Right is a dice game for three or more players, published by George & Company LLC in 1992. It is entirely a game of chance. The players make no decisions of any kind, even as to wagering.
Roll the dice
Line up the bucks
Did You Know? - Each player receives three chips. Players take it in turn to roll the six-sided dice, each of which is marked with "L", "C", "R" on one side, and a single dot on the three remaining sides. For each "L" or "R" thrown, the player must pass one chip to the player to his left or right, respectively. A "C" indicates a chip to the center (pot). A dot has no effect.
If a player has fewer than three chips left (including zero) he is still in the game but his number of chips is the number of dice he rolls on his turn, rather than rolling all three. The winner is the last player with chips left. He does not roll the dice, and wins the center pot.
LCR can also be played as a gambling game by substituting money for chips.
Note that since no player is ever "out" (even when they have no chips), the number of players does not change
"This is fun!"
Shake the dice
Do I have to give it up???

"Oh goody goody... I got two of them"
Filthy lucre
Did You Know? -
Lucre, from the Lat. lucrum, meaning gain in terms of money or wealth within the nation.
Often it is used in a negative, as in the phrase "not given to filthy lucre" from the Bible 1 Timothy 3:3.
From this, the term "filthy lucre" became slang for money.
The term is also the root of the word lucrative.

First in - Last out
Did You Know? - The game marked the first Super Bowl in which both of the teams had appeared in, but not yet lost, a previous Super Bowl; the 49ers won all five of their previous Super Bowls while the Ravens won in their lone previous Super Bowl appearance in Super Bowl XXXV against the New York Giants.
On winning, Baltimore became the only team in the NFL to have appeared in multiple Super Bowls without losing one; in fact, they supplanted the 49ers in this role.
Currently, this phenomenon can only be repeated if the Ravens or the New York Jets play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the New Orleans Saints in a subsequent Super Bowl.
