for the meld OF the four kings and queens, 80 or
This Is not one meld, but 1ve. There 10 no
such meld In any OF the te1t books as 2to or aao.
There is meld OF 40 for four kings and or 90 for
four queens and OF 20 for trump marriage and -
for any other marriage Five Of these msids
c an be made with the eight cards given by start
Ing With the four kings and marrying three of
90 queens or for marriage. II the ftrxt tho
total value OF the nve mcds will be only 90, rsn.
81 81. 2o-i6o. II the latter II will be 80 N. 90
%. Goo There is no way OF getting 40
out OF those eight cards unless you violate tho
rule that there must be a fresh card from tho
hand for each meld made. The mistake is in
thinking that these Gig cards are single meid.
r. y. ID. says: II you have the trump sequence
on the table can you get forty by adding . new
king!
No. because the queen to which you wish 10
marry It has already been used In a more valuable
meld In the same class. ..- -. .
b. J. S. says: II have four kings and nye
queens how much can l neld with themr ~
Two hundred and forty ~ you keep me dupb-|
rate queens un nj the last and meld 90 queens with
one and then marry the other.
j. y. NJ. Gays: What is the difference between
The values OF the melds In two hand and In three
Or four
None. In two hand you must win trick be-
tween meldS and lay down fresh card for each
neld. In three or four hand you omit the vim
ling OF the tricks until you have made all your
neldS Otherwise the process is the same
