Greetings and salutations from Quizmaster Bubbe--who doesn't love a good challenge, now and then?
A lot of you have expressed enthusiasm about the new card. It's got some really interesting combinations, and opportunities to switch from one hand to another abound!
Rather than spell everything out for you, I'm going to give you a few things to work out for yourself. I will be posting answers next week, but I'm going to bet you can figure them out before then!
Scenarios, part one: NO EXPOSURES SO FAR
A) You have the following tiles:
F 11223345 27 E J
and you're hoping to make CR1a, a "sombrero" on the low end of the number line.
Oh, no! Someone exposes a pung of 4! What are some of your options?
B) You have the following tiles:
FF 222 3 4444 E JJ
and you pick up another joker. What are your two options, and what will determine which you play?
C) You have the following tiles:
FF 2 DD DDD NES JJ
and you're hoping to make W6. Oh, no! Someone exposes a kong of Wests! What should you do?
SCENARIOS, part two: YOU'VE BEEN EXPOSED!!
A) You started off really hot in the Charleston and were ready to make some early exposures-- now your hand looks like:
222 000 (exposed) -- 2234 1 E J still on your rack
Someone has exposed a kong of 4 craks. What will you do?
B) You're being a little more cautious this time. You began with
1 222 33 4 45 DD JJ
and called for a third 3 dot--now you have just one meld, 333, exposed. You THOUGHT you were going for CR2, but then the other three players threw out all the 1 dots. What are some of your options?
C) You've got a pretty interesting hand, to start:
222 EEE W 55 77 JJ
and you feel lucky. You're going to try for Q2, and when the 2 dot is thrown you expose your Quint (discarding the West, obviously). As the game goes on, neither more 5 nor 7 craks have shown up, and you don't have the jokers to call for them anyway.... There are maybe 12 tiles left in the wall. Someone throws the East.
What do you do?
If you think you have a particularly good answer, please send it to me! I'll be publishing my own explanations next week for comparison (let's give you time to think about it)--but if you want to send me your ideas, please contact me at bubbefischer@gmail.com
Better yet, if you have either a wonderful success story, or a tale of woe where you didn't know what to do, send it on and I'll let everyone think about it!
See you tomorrow!
Bubbe

ReplyDeleteI'm expressing my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Utu for transforming my life. For over five years, I struggled with herpes, feeling incomplete and desperate. Despite prayers and searches for a cure, nothing worked.
DeleteSome months ago, I found Dr. Utu online, whose reputation shone through testimonials. With hope and skepticism, I contacted him via drutuherbalcure@gmail.com. Dr. Utu responded compassionately, sending a herbal medicine and clear instructions for four weeks.
Following his instructions, I remained hopeful. After completing treatment, I scheduled a test. To my overwhelming joy, results came back negative! Tears streamed down my face; I felt an immense weight lifted, and being a clean man again was indescribable.
This experience reinstilled hope in my heart, and I'm deeply thankful for Dr. Utu's expertise. I've made it my mission to share my story, testifying about the miraculous healing God facilitated through Dr. Utu. If you're facing similar challenges, reach out and seek help. You're not alone!
