unf0rgettable never gave up the lead

One evening, 4 players, a single crown. The rest — stories to tell over coffee.

The tail of the table: Elena, with 71 points. Somebody has to hold the candle. In the last of the opening eights: Elena called 0, took 3, and Vyce was left out in the cold. 2 hands in a row: only Elena slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but Elena.

edge rounds out the podium with 76 points. Bronze still counts as a medal. edge was ahead of Vyce right up to the last hand. 2 hands in a row: edge broke the contract each time while everyone else made theirs.

Vyce took second with 81 points — a fine evening, but the gods of whist were busy elsewhere. The last hand decided it: Vyce went past edge right on the line. In the third of the opening eights, Vyce bid 2 and took 5 — and edge went down with it.

unf0rgettable took the game with 104 points and a 23-point cushion — never really in doubt. In front from the third of the opening eights to the end, and nobody got close enough to worry about. 2 hands in a row: only unf0rgettable slipped, while the rest said it and did it. The cards were kind to everyone but unf0rgettable.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
