Heave Ho! card game*
* 
Two Scottish players engage in a classic tug-of-war, occasionally joined by Nessie. They first compete to build their decks in real time. Once the decks are complete, the card game alternates back and forth until someone pulls the whisky barrel over their line and claims it. The first to win three whisky barrels wins the game.
Nominated for 1 award.
