Plain Dapp, no Challenge. Six players at the table. The team’s captured pile: XX, XV, XI, VII, IV, K♣, K♠, Q♥, C♦, J♠, 8♣, 7♠.
How many Card Points does the team hold, and who writes what?
Show answer
Answer
20 Card Points. Twelve cards, divided by two and rounded down, gives 6; the printed pips (K♣ 4, K♠ 4, Q♥ 3, C♦ 2, J♠ 1, the rest nothing) add 14 more: 6 + 14 = 20. Twenty short of forty, so the Dapper has won the round. 20 falls in the 18–22 band: the Dapper writes 20 Victory Points, plain Dapp column, and the team writes nothing.
