Birthday Rummy 500
On Caroline's birthday this year we played Rummy 500 while watching TV on the couch in our living room. These are the results:
| Caroline | Jeffrey | Notes |
| 95 | -10 | caroline is happy |
| 100 | 75 | caroline is less happy |
| 145 | 160 | |
| 205 | 90 | caroline is ecstatic |
| 235 | 225 | caroline is less ecstatic |
| 370 | 360 | |
| 350 | 445 | UH OH |
| 445 | 480 | |
| 510 | 545 | caroline declares that we are now playing Rummy 750 |
| 605 | 560 | caroline thinks she's back in business |
| 650 | 645 | |
| 710 | 720 | |
| 710 | 790 | caroline decides we are now playing Rummy 1000 |
| 800 | 965 | jeff is on a role |
| <800 | >1000 | caroline has thrown the cards rendering it impossible to calculate the exact score and stomped into the bedroom, game over |
As you can see the early rounds were all over the place. Lots of negative scoring. At several points I debated throwing the game but I was just playing too well and have endured too many defeats at her hands to do that. We then played a sudden death round that Caroline said "counted". She won. I guess that means she can continue to list one of her Facebook interests as "kicking j's ass at board games".
