Cretu wins the evening

A game of broken contracts — 40 of them around the table, and scores from 89 all the way down to 64.

Alina closes out the table, with 64 points. "Last one buys the coffee" — as they say at the table. In the second of the middle eights: Alina called 3, took 7, and 3 others were left out in the cold. The place above was a single point away. In the third of the middle eights, 3 chairs flew at Alina within seconds 🪑 — the table had opinions.

Third, on the podium: Kiki, up there with eyes on the top step. Kiki was ahead of Emi right up to the last hand. Kiki was even in front after the last of the opening eights.

Emi finishes second, 18 points short of gold. Silver shines, but not quite the same. The last hand decided it: Emi went past Kiki right on the line. Emi spent a good while in last place and climbed out of it.

Champion of the evening: Cretu, with 89 points. The rest, see you in the replay. In the third of the opening eights, Cretu bid 0 and took 3 — and Emi went down with it.

Well played everyone — and especially Cretu!
