I have always played this way. It just makes things easier to keep track of. Another possibility is to always play with your trio horizontal to you, and keep the House on a "lazy susan" with an arrow pointing away from the house perpendicular to the line of the House. Point this arrow at yourself when it's your turn, or (temporarily) when you think you may have won. -- Elliott C. "Eeyore" Evans eeyore@xxxxxxxx
