choffer Posted December 8, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2020 Just a bit of friendly advice because I know many of us often pretend we are tough enough to ride it out when we get sick. Don’t. Go to the doc. (unless, like me, you want a dose of sepsis and a free ride in an ambulance). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in, you get to steal any unclaimed points the card holder didn't spot in their own hand?

We used to choose not to play muggins because there'd be **** murder Basically, you have to put your cards on the table when you're counting the 15-2 15-4 15-6 etc etc. That gives everyone else the chance to count your score at the same time. You then claim the score you think you got, and 90% of the time you're right. But if you miss one (or more), and someone else spots it, then they get those extra points after you've declared your score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My complaint is the same as always, **** football and tennis off, its not the pinnacle it's a 2nd rate after thought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if you actually choose not to score the points as you suspect your opponent may score more again off their next lay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
