Current scores: GB 265, TG 228, AC 182.
Here's an idea for the next game: how about imposing a minimum claim as well as a maximum? I decided to mostly grind my way through this game in 1-point claims because it gave me the best chance of winning, but I think it's been a bit tedious for everyone.

Hang on - you suggest ditching 1 pointers, before then proceeding to claim one!
Mind you, I will now!

For the next game, not this one! I don't intend to abandon a successful strategy. I've led right through this game.

OK, keep it the same then. I was just a bit worried that the next game might be even more tedious than this one.

Talking about the next game - can there be a couple of days break between this one and that?

Sure. I think we're all going to need a rest! I probably will rethink the rules.

Some stats: there have been 586 claims in the game so far, of which 395 have been for 1 point. I don't think that's really in the original spirit of the game (and I know I'm the main culprit!). Here's the breakdown:
GB: 218 claims total, 177 1-point claims (173 successful)
TG: 174 claims total, 124 1-point claims (107 successful)
AC: 194 claims total, 94 1-point claims (68 successful)

Not really - I think I've cracked the best way of playing though. That's why I wanted to change the rules, so I'd have to work out a different strategy. Don't want it to get boring!
