DEAR ABBY: A group of women have played cards for more than 30 years. We play for money and have a jackpot for the person with the lowest score at the end of six games.
The last couple of years -- or maybe longer -- one lady seems to win the jackpot quite often. At the end of every game, we count our own cards, and this one lady keeps score. Most of us know she gives us the wrong count in order to win. She has been given a few "hints."
Should we make new rules and have all the players show their cards? It seems a shame after all these years of enjoying the game. Please advise. -- PUT OUT IN THE MIDWEST
DEAR PUT OUT: That's one way to "deal" with it. Another idea might be for the players to pass their cards to the person on the right to be tallied.
