Ive been trying for years to score over 1,000 points in the 3-handed version. I was sure I had done it with a score of 970, a bid of six tricks successfully won and holding a lone jester as my last card in the final round. Alas, when I led my jester it was followed by 2 more of the same, giving me the trick and dropping my score to 960.

Without trying, I was set in all but three hands of a three player game and ended the game with a -70. It was just one of those games where nothing I did was right. My high game is only 500, so I've got a LONG way to go before I can hit 1000.
