I don't have it on PGSME. (Even if i could play it on my new MBP 17'', because i have installed also Windows 7 to use the MBP also for the timetable. And i have of course PGS on it, but i start normally with Os X.)
Which number you are interested in? |

I've played the first 100+ in climb mode. I was just interested to see if anyone else was doing the same thing. |

I've played 37 games of which I only won 4. I use random numbers though not the climb mode. |

Richard, could you also win #1? If so, what were your first 6 cards. Maybe i oversaw something in the rules, but i cannot even get close to win #1. |

When you get stuck it is often best just to restart the game Markus.

Your post was clear enough Markus. I knew you'd won it, I was just proving to you that I had won it too.
Post your stats when you reach game #200 and we can compare notes. |

Kathy, there will be games with an highest non-winning score more than 11 points.
Richard played the first 200 games (#1 to #200) and he wanted to compare with someone. So i started to play the game at work and have now reached 100 (#1 to #100). So i posted it mainly for Richard.
When you want to compare with us (me and Richard and...?), then play the game from #1 on. Then you can see, when you have reached #100 (#200) if you could do the same as we did. |

Don't worry, Markus. We both know I could never compare with you and Richard. All I wanted to mention was that you said the highest winning score was less than 11, and I just happened to get 11. Sorry if I was out of line. |

Richard, i am not hiding. I am just covered with work. My school is getting 30 and we are preparing for the celebrations this saturday and next week. Then it is just the time for assessments (?) and i have to correct. I tried to keep in touch what's going on the forum and sometimes i posted an NORMAL OBJECTIVE (?) message. When i find the time to do some games, then it was just luck.
With Windsor Castle i am at time at work at about #130. About 70 to go.
Meanwhile i found a nice Thieves of Egypt game: #347. Have fun with it. Let us know your time for it.
That's all for now, have to work again. ;-( |

To tidy up this thread...............
Playing games 1 - 200 in consecutive order, the best that Markus and I can achieve is as follows.
We have 33 winners and 122 losers where a score is possible. The remaining 45 games are also losers, but as no score is possible, they will not show up in your stats unless you actually move a card. |

Yes 11 is our best score too. It's the only one I can remember where wrapping was an advantage. |
