...and what else have we got today? an 'odd one' upon the timer system "shooting crap in the park"....

remember hulbrusch and his east german friend at hotelu asystencki...playing a german card game? they had called it 'crap' or that is what it had sounded like...no such game upon the internet....but the idea of playing cards....well, I was to have a look on google...to find SHEEPSHEAD on wiki...to then remember the DOPPELKOPF set....

doko...they had been playing a version of SKAT with DOKO cards, as far as I am concerned....

little colin had been the 'fox' in the final trick - hadn't he?

"Catching a fox in the final trick

Losing an Ace of Diamonds to the opposing party in the last trick of the game may lead to two extra points (instead of one) counted against the party losing the fox."
