Oh My! Finally finished this awful game. Got confused with all the clues, so just kept stumbling about and somehow got it. Not a pretty sight of a score, but hey, whatever.

you can also play the 8 of clubs 1st and the 8 of spades follows soon after

8 diamonds 1st then wait for the 8 of spades near the end

Thank you for your kind words Jadius and Donna.

I think that's right. It's been a long day. I've just spent the last 4 hours staring at window contractors and I'm drinking wine. I'm not exactly reliable right now!

Yes, you guys are correct ! Sorry - it just takes my computer so long to go up and down and refresh, etc. that I couldn't take the time to double-check it. So, yes, I also brought down the 7.

My moves before the flip are J on Q. 7 on 8. 6 on 7. 2 on 3. Q on K. 10 on J. 8 on 9. 9 on 10. 8 on 9. 6 on 7. 7 on 8. Inbetween I am sending up or over anything that goes. My four piles read 9 2 7 3.

7 for moi

I brought it down after the flip, also.
