I play Lighting, claiming 5 points; 4 for il Toro and 1 for l’Ossa.

pokes:

29-03-2021 15:51:00 UTC

(that last play was typed before I saw your Sfida, and is illegal.)

I accept.

pokes:

29-03-2021 15:51:18 UTC

Now I legally play Lighting, claiming 5 points; 4 for il Toro and 1 for l’Ossa.

Clucky: he/him

29-03-2021 15:54:37 UTC

Lighting is not a valid play

pokes:

29-03-2021 15:54:48 UTC

Actually, none of these are yet legal, because Lighting isn’t a card.

pokes:

29-03-2021 16:01:28 UTC

I really triple-dipple legally play for real, Lightning. I claim 4 points for il Toro.

Clucky: he/him

29-03-2021 16:01:56 UTC

this is what I get for chatting with Pokes mid-game and bragging about his L’Ossa being wrong

pokes:

29-03-2021 16:02:34 UTC

(Shoutout to Clucky for being very polite and PMing me on Slack to let me know that I had l’Ossa wrong. And to myself 10 minutes ago for being unable to spell.)
