We then pulled out this new game from Alan Moon, which I kept referring to as Where's Ed's Pants for reasons that escaped me at the time ( however, I now remember there is another game called Who Stole Ed's Pants, so I no longer accept I'm psychologically disturbed - well not for that reason anyway). This is a prediction whist variant, with players bidding to take most cards in a particular suit or fewest cards in total. Also there is Bob's Hat which either adds or subtracts 10 points to the person in possession of it at the end of the hand.
We played five hands and Nige stormed out to an early lead. However Mark K and I pegged him back in the penultimate hand, only for him to outscore me in the last hand for victory. Mark G, by the way didn't quite get to grips with this scoring minus points on every hand. Perhaps we should award him Ed's Pants as a booby prize.
