I think we should be back from lunch by then as we are leaving pretty soon. I'll try to fire a message if I don't think I'll make it.

Ugh, never mind - just got a meeting booked for 2 today - probably an hour or more.

Want to try and set up a time for tonight maybe? I'm pretty open tonight so long as I'm not going to bed super late as I'm skiing tomorrow. Maybe start around 7 or 8 MDT?

Do you want to just start it on Monday? I'm going out for dinner tonight, and likely won't be home until after 9pm.

I agree - Monday works for me. Also gives me some time to try and understand this game because I'm still a bit hazy. I think I need to re-do the replay of the last game since Girly revealed the starting state, so I can understand how all the trades went.

You can pick one of the other two games if you want, if you don't understand how this one is played.

I'll be good for Monday. And don't think I don't know your love for Truth Detector! Notice how I avoided it so far

You won at B&W II. That should be easy for you.

Haha - so did you! I'm going to have to re-think strategy on that one, because I don't think I can play the same game I did last time to win. You know too much!

i'm free after 10am.

recap of the rules for Quattro



QUATTRO

A Quattro refers to when 4 cards all have different numbers and colours
You will trade cards with 6 virtual players and the player with the higher summed Quattro will win

The virtual players are named: Giordano, Brodie, Hamilton, Engelland, Nakladal and Jokipakka

Russell was traded
Wideman is hurt

There will be red, blue, purple and green cards numbered 1 to 6 along with two black 0 cards for a total of 26 cards

1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6
0 0


Each player will receive two 2s and two 1s (randomized) to start and the rest will be shuffled and given to the virtual players (3 each)

At this point you will begin trading with the virtual players. There will be a coin toss to determine who goes first. You will take turns deciding to trade cards or not. If you decide to trade cards you may trade a card of your choosing with a virtual player. The card you traded will then be revealed.

The virtual players will choose a card to trade back to you according to the following rules:
1. They will consider cards that were already revealed and choose the best card that can make a quattro
2. If they only have cards that cannot complete a Quattro they will choose the card with the highest number
3. If there are multiple cards with the highest number, they will choose a card in the order of red, green, purple, blue


However, if the virtual player has a 0 card they will always choose the 0 card to trade

The card traded by the virtual player will not be revealed (unless it was already revealed previously). When both players wish to stop trading they will both flip over and reveal one of their cards. Once a card is shown it can no longer be traded and will be in their final score. This process is repeated until all 4 player cards are shown.

You may trade with the virtual players in any order but you MUST trade with all 6 virtual players only once before showing all of your cards. Meaning, both players will make 6 trades in the 4 rounds.

If both players make a Quattro at the end, the one with the higher sum will win.
If the sums are equal, the player with the higher number card will win.
The 0 card will be accepted as a different number and colour and can be used to complete a Quattro

If both players fail to complete a Quattro the player with the higher sum will win
If the sums are equal, the player with the higher number card will win.


Example: 6 5 4 3 of different colors = 18 and is the highest possible score.


Procedure: When trading a player will post in the thread "I would like to trade 2 with Giordano"

Then I will PM the card that they got back. If it is a card that was already revealed then I'll just announce it in the thread.

any questions ask here, I can do a quick example if needed.

After my review on the weekend - I feel confident about the rules now.

I'm good after 10 as well, could play throughout the day without too much trouble.
