Alpha testing continues in Gaming Safari, with a big push this weekend. I need some opinions on this scenario:

Bidders bid 75, have only 23 meld. (need 52) Yahoo used to allow the hand to be played out, to see if the bidders could keep the opponents from saving meld.

I am used to the no board, no play rule. The bidder goes set for the bid, the opponents get their meld, and the hand is over.

Regardless of what Yahoo allowed is there any consensus amongst players how this should be programmed? Please post opinions.

Ty, Jen

  If the bidding team has enough to make board you play the hand in hope to stop the other team.

  In a situation that both teams are close enough to go over 500 sometimes you intentionally overbid your hand to stop the other team from going over 500 and winning the game.
