Vyce wins the evening

A game of broken contracts — 39 of them around the table, and scores from 95 all the way down to 56.

Luis closed the table from the back, on 56 points — there is always a next game. Luis swore 0 in the four-card hand on the way up and took a trick — whist has a sense of humour. The six-card hand on the way up: 1 chair and 2 kisses flew at Luis 🪑💋 — the table couldn't decide whether it adored them.

Mara rounds out the podium with 63 points. Bronze still counts as a medal. Mara was even in front after the last of the opening eights. The last of the opening eights: 1 chair and 1 kiss flew at Mara 🪑💋 — the table couldn't decide whether it adored them.

Runner-up sounds good — gold sounded better. Gigel, with 85 points. Gigel said they'd take nothing in the first of the middle eights... and took some. Whist listens, then does the opposite. The second of the opening eights: 2 chairs thrown at Gigel in seconds 🪑 — the table spoke its mind, furnished and all.

Champion of the evening: Vyce, with 95 points. The rest, see you in the replay. 10 good hands in a row — at one point, Vyce was playing as if they could see everyone else's cards. And that despite a slip in the very last hand. Vyce cried laughing 9 times 😂 — a fun evening, at least on one side of the table.

Well played everyone. Same table next time?
