Analysis shows Delaware as No. 5 nationwide at searching how to cheat in board, card games
Hear from Reggie Lynch on what to expect at Winterthur’s Yuletide 2024
Reggie Lynch, director of interpretation and engagement, shares her thoughts on Winterthur’s Yuletide 2024, the trees and celebration of creativity.
Planning to break out Monopoly or Scrabble with the family over the holidays? Be careful.
Delaware ranks No. 5 in the nation when it comes to searching for how to cheat at card and board games, according to an analysis from World of Card Games.
Google search volume data for terms related to cheating in multiple card and board games found that they accounted for 13.88 out of every 10,000 searches from Delawareans. Vermont had the highest search volume, according to the researchers, followed by Alaska and North Dakota.
“Whatever the reason, we hope players remember that the real joy of game night comes from the fun of playing together – not from having an ace up your sleeve,” said World of Card Games Founder Holger Sindbaek. “After all, nothing beats the warm feeling of a well-earned victory shared with loved ones during the holidays.”

Man arrested after police find remains of missing Delaware woman in Maryland
A man was arrested after police found the dismembered remains of a missing Delaware woman in Maryland.
The investigation began on Friday, Dec. 20, around 10:15 p.m. when New Castle County Police responded to the 2700 block of Stone Place in the Village of Kent Apartments in Newark, Delaware. The boss of 31-year-old Tracy Nyariki had contacted police after she failed to report to work for several days.
Police searched through Nyariki’s apartment but were unable to find her. During the investigation, they uncovered several suspicious circumstances that made them concerned for her safety and wellbeing.
After they were unable to contact her, police issued a Gold Alert. Investigators then identified 32-year-old Nobert Matara as a person of interest in Nyariki’s disappearance.
With help from Aberdeen Police, investigators found Matara and his vehicle on the 1100 block of South Philadelphia Boulevard in Aberdeen, Maryland. They then found Nyariki’s dismembered remains in his vehicle, according to investigators.
Matara was arrested and is currently being held in Maryland where he is awaiting extradition to Delaware. Once transferred, he’ll be arraigned on the charge of first-degree murder.
Police said they may file additional charges against Matara as the investigation continues.
If you have any information on the incident, please call Detective Adam Holubinka at (302) 395-8254 or email him at Adam.Holubinka@newcastlede.gov.
