I've been checking it out and I could prolly fill in, but isn't EB still out on punctured aorta leave?

TomB why don't you take Ransac's turns until he gets back.
Then we just have to wait on EB's recovery, which will be speedy and complete.

Okay, let's see if we can even remember how to play this game...

EricBess (56): Money; Pass
Spiderman (52): Money; Pass
Mooseman (40): Green 5; Money; Pass
Melkor (50): Money, Money
Ransac (40): Money, Money

China: Green 3, green 3 (non-scoring round)
Bulls: Blue and Green, All Green, Blue green and red, All Odd, blue green and red

Wow...Given that the 3 chine left both get killed by the all green and the all odd, I think I'll snatch another bull and get some more cash. I don't want to open the door for anyone else, so I'm taking the Blue and Green bull.


EricBess (56): Money x 2; Pass
Spiderman (52): Money; Pass
Mooseman (40): Green 5; Money; Pass
Melkor (50): Money, Money
Ransac (40): Money, Money

China: Green 3, green 3 (non-scoring round)
Bulls: All Green, Blue green and red, All Odd, blue green and red

Without passes and having two money each, Melkor and Ransac really don't have a choice in the matter. Since both of the remaining china are the same, I might as well update for them.

Mooseman (40): Money x2; Pass
Melkor (50): Green 3; Money

Which brings us to needing more china. And another scoring round.

EricBess (56): Money x 2; Pass
Spiderman (52): Money x2; Pass
Mooseman (40): Money x2; Pass
Melkor (50): Green 3; Money
Ransac (40): Green 3; Money

China: Green 6, Green 8, Green 7, Red 7, Red 6 (scoring round)
Bulls: All Green, All Odd

Ugg...Well, this is a scoring round and everyone has money, so I could just take the biggest card out there. Unfortunately, since I'm in the lead, I could just seen Melkor or Ransac deciding to take a hit this round to bring me down with them... Everything's worth a ton...

This will almost definitely be putting Spidey in the lead, but I'm just not sure what everyone would do, so I'll take the Red 6 and play it safe.

EricBess (56): Red 6; Money; Pass
Spiderman (52): Money x2; Pass
Mooseman (40): Money x2; Pass
Melkor (50): Green 3; Money
Ransac (40): Green 3; Money

China: Green 6, Green 8, Green 7, Red 7 (scoring round)
Bulls: All Green, All Odd

Huh? How are you screwed? Melkor and Ransac both still have money with 2 china left and it's a scoring round. The only way you are screwed is if one of them decides to screw you, but if they do, either of the bulls guarentees they won't be getting points this round, either.

I can see one of them taking a hit to stop me because I have a decent lead. I could definately see one of them taking a hit if they could stop both me and Spiderman, especially Melkor, who isn't far behind. But I really can't imaging why one of them wouldn't just try to get points right now since not doing so will just allow me to increase my lead.

Unless, of course, they want to just give up on first place and go for second ;)...

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for you passing. It practically guarentees me scoring two china this round :D

Ask yourself this - if someone were going to take a bull to screw someone, would they rather go after you or Spidey?

Yes, Spiderman is correct. Personally, I'm okay if you want to change your play. But it benefits me more if you don't :D
