Bull in a China Shop

[Mooseman]

No Change from me.... It's still Melkor's turn....

 

[Melkor]

Do you "All" Bulls destroy unclaimed China too?

 

[Mooseman]

no

 

[Melkor]

I'll take the Red 7

EricBess (56): Red 6; Money; Pass
Spiderman (52): Green 8; Money; Pass
Mooseman (40): Money x2
Melkor (50): Green 3; Red 7
Ransac (40): Green 3; Money

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

 

[Ransac]

Eh... I'll take the Green 6.

EricBess (56): Red 6; Money; Pass
Spiderman (52): Green 8; Money; Pass
Mooseman (40): Money x2
Melkor (50): Green 3; Red 7
Ransac (40): Green 3; Green 6

Ransac, cpa trash man

 

[Spiderman]

Man, EB made out like a bandit if he's taking a china and causing the end of the scoring round...

 

[Melkor]

There wasn't much that could be done to stop it.

 

[Spiderman]

Yeah, I know. I'm just saying there's a chance he could take the All Green Bull (the better one) to destroy most of us, but he probably won't...

 

[Ransac]

We should lynch him!

Ransac, cpa trash man

 

[Spiderman]

At least it's not me this time!

 

[Ransac]

Oh... wait..... we're not talking 'bout Spidey?


Ransac, cpa trash man

 

[EricBess]

Yes, I could take the All green bull. My Red 6 is safe either way. That would set me up with 2 money. But since next round is non-scoring anyway, there is a decent chance everything I worked for would be gone by then anyway. Besides, Melkor and Spiderman are my nearest competition and they would both end up with more points than me this round if I did that, so I'm taking the Green 7 and we score.

EricBess (56): Red 6; Green 7; Pass
Spiderman (52): Green 8; Money; Pass
Mooseman (40): Money x2
Melkor (50): Green 3; Red 7
Ransac (40): Green 3; Green 6

China:
Bulls: All Green, All Odd

Remember, the scoring criteria are 1) High of each color, 2) Low of each color, 3) total of one color, and 4) total.

So, for this round, I get 13+13+7+13 = 46
Spiderman: 8+8+8+8 = 32
Mooseman: 0
Melkor: 10+10+7+10 = 37
Ransac: 6+3+9+9 = 27.

I'll add the scores and deal out 5 new china. There are only 2 rounds of china left and then the game ends.

EricBess (102): Red 6; Green 7; Pass
Spiderman (84): Green 8; Money; Pass
Mooseman (40): Money x2
Melkor (87): Green 3; Red 7
Ransac (67): Green 3; Green 6

China: Red 3, Blue 6, Green 4, Blue 6, Red 6 (non-scoring round)
Bulls: All Green, All Odd

 

[Ransac]

I'm not losing the worst!!!


Ransac, cpa trash man

 

[Spiderman]

I'll take the Red 6

EricBess (102): Red 6; Green 7; Pass
Spiderman (84): Green 8; Red 6; Pass
Mooseman (40): Money x2
Melkor (87): Green 3; Red 7
Ransac (67): Green 3; Green 6

China: Red 3, Blue 6, Green 4, Blue 6, (non-scoring round)
Bulls: All Green, All Odd

 

[Mooseman]

I'll take the Blue 6, I don't even know why.....

EricBess (102): Red 6; Green 7; Pass
Spiderman (84): Green 8; Red 6; Pass
Mooseman (40): Blue 6; Money
Melkor (87): Green 3; Red 7
Ransac (67): Green 3; Green 6

China: Red 3, Blue 6, Green 4 (non-scoring round)
Bulls: All Green, All Odd

 

[EricBess]

Because it's not green and it's not odd???

Once again, Melkor and Ransac's plays don't seem to matter. They both have to take a bull and the only 2 bulls available are All Green and All Odd. Whichever Melkor takes, Ransac takes the other. So, I'll update the board and deal out some more bulls...BTW, all the bulls have been used, so we're reshuffling the bull deck for anyone checking what's still around.

EricBess (102): Red 6; Pass
Spiderman (84): Red 6; Pass
Mooseman (40): Blue 6; Money
Melkor (87): Money
Ransac (67): Money

China: Red 3, Blue 6, Green 4 (non-scoring round)
Bulls: 2 blue and 2 red, blue and green, 2 green and 2 red, all blue, all odd

 

[EricBess]

I'll just play it safe for now and take the blue and green bull. This isn't a scoring round, so stuff probably isn't going to last anyway...
