My rack's pretty ugly, but 21 points is 21 points. A tough choice. >Cynthia_Seales: ADEHIRS K8 SHADIER +80 172 >Nathan: EGILOUW J6 WI.E +20 165 #note Missing WILCO A11 >Cynthia_Seales: ACO A12 CO.A +24 196 >Nathan: CGILLOU 12H LOG.C +18 183 >Cynthia_Seales: DL C13 D.L +14 210 >Nathan: AILPSUV 14I PU.L +16 199 >Cynthia_Seales: KRSU M10 RUSK +25 235 >Nathan: AEIMOSV K2 MOVIE +25 224 >Cynthia_Seales: ?DEIINU 4G UNDI.InE +74 309 >Cynthia_Seales: ?DEIINU -- -74 235 >Nathan: ABNQSWY 15L AWNY +36 260 >Cynthia_Seales: ?DEIINU 4K .ID +14 249 >Nathan: BGIJNQS -BGJQ +0 260 #note A real tough choice here. Normally I'd drop QI L1 in a heartbeat, but knowing she has QUIN as a 39 point comeback, keeping E? eliminates this option. Quackle likes QIS N2. But if she hits the bingo at D3, I think I'm toast. >Cynthia_Seales: ?DEEINU M1 UNE.ItED +70 319 >Nathan: EINPRSU D3 PURINES +78 338 #note I drew my bingo, but it doesn't look good. If she's drawn the J or Q, I may be down a bingo again next turn. >Cynthia_Seales: BEJ 1L J.BE +63 382 #note Natch. >Nathan: AEEGIIO 5B GI.O +10 348 #note Best by far. I've got to block the only Q spots. The consonant heavy board makes the leave less awful than normal. >Cynthia_Seales: VL 3J V.L. +9 391 >Nathan: ABEEITT 8A BIT. +18 366 #note Technically a lost game, but I try to sucker her into QI, after which ETAPE wins by 2.
