Do you call "Challenge!"?

Show answer

Answer

Challenge. The Skus, two more giants and a pair of Kings is exactly the hand that wants the Dapp for itself: the bidder may simply hand it over with “Go ahead,” which is the best outcome this rule offers. And if they keep it instead, doubling the round’s tier suits you fine, because a hand this strong expects to hold the table under forty regardless of who ends up as Dapper. Either branch of the Challenge favors you.
