The comeback of Cozie

The lead passed from hand to hand, 5 times over — it was anyone's guess.

Claussss closed the table from the back, on 52 points — there is always a next game. Claussss had the table at their feet after the seven-card hand on the way down. Whist was there to remind them nothing lasts forever. In the second of the closing eights, Claussss bid 5 and took 8 — and Vasile went down with it. In the third of the opening eights, 6 chairs flew at Claussss within seconds 🪑 — the table had opinions.

Third, and on the podium: MulgeL, with 57 points. MulgeL got past Claussss at the very last hand. 2 hands in a row: the table said and did, MulgeL said and... hoped. It didn't hold. The five-card hand on the way down: 4 chairs thrown at MulgeL in seconds 🪑 — the table spoke its mind, furnished and all.

Vasile led for 14 hands but finished second, 7 points behind. In the third of the opening eights: Vasile said 0, scooped 3, and Cozie was left counting the pieces. At one stretch, 9 good hands in a row. The last of the opening eights: 2 chairs thrown at Vasile in seconds 🪑 — the table spoke its mind, furnished and all.

Cozie crossed the finish line first, on 76 points. Cozie was even last after the two-card hand on the way down, which makes the win all the sweeter. 2 hands in a row: the whole table kept its word, only Cozie didn't — but insisted, with dignity. The four-card hand on the way up: 2 chairs thrown at Cozie in seconds 🪑 — the table spoke its mind, furnished and all.

Well played everyone — and especially Cozie!
