Ganó Ana

A game of broken contracts — 39 of them around the table, and scores from 88 all the way down to 59.

Last, but with style: Lucky, with 59 points. At least there were cards worth talking about. In the second of the middle eights: Lucky said 1, scooped 4, and Ana was left counting the pieces. Lucky was ahead of Mihai right up to the last hand. Lucky couldn't bear to look 9 times 🙈 — some hands are better not watched.

Third, and on the podium: Mihai, with 63 points. Mihai got past Lucky at the very last hand. 2 hands in a row: the table said and did, Mihai said and... hoped. It didn't hold.

Second place for Elena, with 81 points. So close to the top they can still taste it — bittersweet. Elena swore 0 in the four-card hand on the way down and took a trick — whist has a sense of humour.

Ana comes out on top of everyone, with 88 points. The cards were kind. Ana only went in front at the very last hand.

Well played everyone — and especially Ana!
