How many Victory Points does the Dapper write?

Show answer

Answer

50. Fourteen cards halve down to 7, plus the 20 pips, gives the team 27 Card Points: short of forty, so the Dapper has won, and 27 sits in the 23–27 band. Read the Dapp + Challenge column, doubled for the live Challenge: 30 Victory Points. Add the successful II Ultimo on top, worth 20 on its own: 30 + 20 = 50. The team writes nothing; Ultimos and tiers stack for the winner, but they are two separate bets.
