Ana wins the evening

A game of broken contracts — 35 of them around the table, and scores from 120 all the way down to 64.

Last place: Mihai, with 64 points. After the three-card hand on the way up, Mihai was 2nd and dreaming of the podium — but the last hands had other plans.

Elena completed the podium with 71 points. Elena was ahead of Luis right up to the last hand.

Luis took second with 80 points — a fine evening, but the gods of whist were busy elsewhere. The last hand decided it: Luis went past Elena right on the line. 2 hands in a row: only Luis slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but Luis.

Ana wins by 40 clear. That's not whist any more, it's a parade with a brass band. In the six-card hand on the way up: Ana said 0, made 3, and the evening was ruined for Luis. At one stretch, 11 good hands in a row.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
