How about the best comeback to win?
It was only yesterday (8-24-04) that Eskimo's Mom made the comeback of the century in a five player game! The first four hands, she went set for a
score of -40 entering the fifth hand-a mere 150 points behind the leader. In hands five, six and seven she made her bids to gain 130 points; still
leaving her in last place but only 80 points behind the leader. Set again in the eighth hand, we all thought she was no longer a threat, but in
hands
9-12 she made her bid each time, bidding 0, 5, 4, and 0. Gaining one place in the 9th hand, another in the 10th, overtaking first in the 11th and
maintaining her lead in the last hand to win the game. So all-in-all she made up 270 points to win!! A comeback like I've never seen!

only hoping to tie the current leader if he were to fall (not caring about the remaining players at that moment). After all had bid, it was an
underbid of one trick, meaning at least one person would go down. When all was said and done...the leader, a 1 bidder, ended up taking 5 tricks!!!
abducting 1 trick from each of the players; except me, of course, who luckily had obtained my fill at the beginning of the hand! After the other
four
had been taken out, my mere 2 winners sprung me to 200 points...just barely knudging me into first place by 10 points to win the game! It truly was
an
extremely close, unbelievably great game. P.S. Thanks for great game guys, but a special thanks goes out to pw.
