@Odonis:

ok, ok, I’ve had enough. Wanted to try a new strategy which clearly backfired :) Well played - I’ll post the loss.

Shall we have another?

Thanks. Good game.  New strategies are always hectic.

Sure, I’m up for another.  I’ll leave it up to you if you want to keep the same sides, flip 'em, or re-bid.
