Quick update for Jake

Jake and Chris and Thomas jumped into a game of Torres. We only got through 2 of the 3 rounds, and Jake had to go fill in and teach a review class for a sick professor.

Here's a quick lowdown of the score at that point -- I know Jake was dying to know how it turned out...

Chris was in a sad last place with 78.

Jake was scored next, and his score was 89.

Then Thomas scored his pieces -- he also ended up with 89. Torres rules state that there is no tie, the last person to obtain the tie score gets an extra point to break the tie. Thomas wins with 90 points on a TECHNICALITY!!

That's gotta hurt.


Actually, to be honest, this score isn't very kosher, because we interrupted the game with a whole phase of the game left to play.



But, still. A technicality. Thomas had never even played the game before. He was even still kind of fuzzy on the rules. And HE got the extra point.

Ouch, man.




Ouch.
