Talk:Setback (game)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These rules are good, however, I haven't been able to find a solution here or anywhere else to a question that came up while playing last week. Specific situation: 4 person game, first hand the lead is thrown as an A of hearts. That player's partner mistakes the heart for a diamond and throws a 10 of clubs, thus failing to follow suit while holding hearts in his hand. The mistake was realized a few hands later, what is the appropriate action to be taken at this point? More generally, what is the resolution when a player messes up, intentionally or not, and fails to follow suit when they are able to?

At the time we mucked the hand and redealt, others have said they should have been set 4 and the other team should have taken the number of points bid.

Depends how much you like the people you're playing with. If somebody flubs up like that when we're playing we usually do what you did rather than get vindictive with the points. Of course we play a slightly different version of the game than the rules given here. 131.24.119.11 16:06, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Improving the article?

I think I'm going to improve this article. Maybe a variations section can be included? I don't really recognize some of these rules, especially Jick. I've never heard of or seen Jick played in a Setback match. EarlCampbell20 06:01, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
