Nope, Dan. I haven't seen one either. I believe it's getting on to 40
hours. Guess Bob Stone should do the deal, eh?

while. Three of you guessed that it is the legal procedure for
dealing with defaulting feudal tenants (No. 16).

Bob Stone and Toni Savage finished in the lead with 5 natural points
each, but Toni is ahead in the rolling scores and thus wins the next
deal. Chuck Emery returned to the game after a break that saw him
drop out of the rolling scores and was a safe runner-up with an
unnatural 5.

Thanks to you all for playing. Your turn, Toni!
