Wow, our team was pummled in the last half of the game. On my second GrandTichu, I called it blindly since Ed did not call it. And I had some really great cards. Sometimes, I love blind GrandTichu calls! However, I was still set. I got down to three cards (A88). I knew that the Phoenix was still out (the Dragon had been played earlier by me). So I lead the pair of eights. Unfortunately, Adam went over them and never played a single card before he went out.
