Hook
One of the oldies but
meanies. Got a deceitful playingstyle involving a dedicated approach to
movement on the board and taking the sips as they come with a finish in
the fast lane. Have learned the hard way that ability to think clearly
is a definity prerequisite to this game.

Gammel Nok
GammelNok was present when
the beer was invented - it was a few hours before the first beer tax and
a few months before the first beer receptacle - but he had to wait
several millennia before Gaa under Gunnar was conceived bringing the
welfare effects of the gold-coloured cerevisial liquid to a level
significantly higher than background noise.

I play
for fun, but aim to win – beer is just a wonderful bonus. You only
achieve a fair game in any martial art if every competitor puts in an
effort, and you can be sure to get a run for you life with me in the
game. Position yourself for a winning roll of the die and you have done
all you can do; “It’s all up to the die anyway!”

In my
life I want to achieve immortality playing GUG - or die trying! Since
the new 'Family Rules' were introduced I started falling back in the
world ranking. The technical scope for players like Hook and myself that
never were too shy to go all the way at the table simply disappeared.
Damm
Da' Board.
But
after having studied the underground intensively for a few years now
I'll be back lighter and easier drunk than ever.

Don L.
Plays with
disrespect to any overall strategy and disregards too deep board
knowledge. Instantly looking for out-of-board solutions of which there
normally are none (probably why others play with a game strategy) -
mostly ending with on-the-board drinking.
Would suggest Brinke to change his name to B-skål!

Brinke
Plays
mostly to enjoy the beer. Not much of a winner and when it happens it is
because the opponents have played too many of the different types of
games or because I for some reason have a 50% better die when I'm drunk.
With that I can win! Even with people who know the board by heart and
can play blindfolded with their hands on the back. My favourite type of
game is team-games where my partner can drink part of my beer and I roll
the die which I do better! Always in the mood for psychological war-fare
with jokes and remarks. My favourite playing piece varies from the large
Bruno-collection and favourite stations are "Brixton for 9" and
"Elephant & Karsten for 16 + the dot". In GUG context I work for Don L’s
name to be changed to I.Lo

Still a

underways. Now I'm trying my luck at becoming a hospital laboratory
worker or a prof GUG player.

G-Nigga
G-nigga
is a semi-professional player, who is one of the few who has had a game
named for him (the Christian Erritsø Memorial). Due to geographical
challenges he only enters games occasionally, but whenever he
participates, he is a force to be reckoned with. He stomachs his drink
well, but tends to favour the faster moving games. His ongoing project:
finding someone who will compete in Limfjordporter.

The
perennial No. 3. Style of play can best be described as "chaotic".

Grønlænderen
Also known as "The stomach".
His playing style clearly reflects that he lacks the strategic overview
possessed by the best players, but nicely compensates for this
deficiency by drinking his way out of trouble. Living in Greenland, he's
considered to be an outsider, due to the fact that his current
drinkingcapacity always is unknown to his opponents before the game
starts.

The Lion
The Lion
only started as a pro-player late and got his final break-through as
professional GUG-player at the Roskilde Festival 2000 Category 1
tournament, where he surprised everyone by taking 2nd place as a non
seeded player ahead of several highly regarded pro-players. His
professional career was unfortunately hit by the slump in the game
subsequent to this success so 'The Lion' still needs to prove that he is
more than just an occasional outsider at major tournaments. He has
extensive practical knowledge of the London tube map, as he resides just
north of London.

Goose
(sometimes
known as Goldfinger)
Played GUG in the
early years, something like "10 years and 10 kilos" ago (maybe 20kilos?)
Strategy: Untraditional South-Heathrow-North clockwise-strategy, almost
never uses Leicester-Square tricks etc. Strengths: fast beer-drinking,
stomach
Previous
achievements: #1 in the Summer Event 1994, #1 in the Gunnar Dome Open
Air 1995, #3 in the GUG Spring Session 1994, and several others, which I
cannot remember due to the nature of the game.
Motto: "I’ll be back"
- the day will come, when I’m back at the board - you’ll never know
when!

Ferryman
Following 8 years of studying at University of Copenhagen Ferryman feels
ready to explore new horizons and worlds. The world of GUG is what
Ferryman now has decided to direct his attention and devotion to!!!
Among his qualities as a 'top 3 wannabee' in GUG is his never ending
thirst for knowledge and beer. These two concepts mixed together
generates a powerful as well as talented player in the London
Underground when it comes to making underground strategies + drinking.
Despite his relative poor GUG background he sees himself as a natural
talent, who will make up for his weak points by emphasizing his
(relative) young age as well as capability in drinking fast!!! Ferryman
is what various reporters might call 'a dark horse' in the sprint
towards GUG excellence.'

The

Remo(lade)
Combining the
incredible powers of remolade (which, against popular Danish opinion,
can be used with ALL types of food) with my lack of knowledge of the
board and my thin body makes me, at first sight, a player not to worry
about. At first sight...
