When you eliminate someone and it gives you more than 5 cards you can cash in as many sets as you have. If you cash and you still have 5 or more cards you HAVE to cash in again.0ojakeo0 wrote:what if u got 4 cards and eliminate sum1 with 5 cards can u cash two sets in?
maybe in a freestyle game where a crazy chain happens in which one player has 5 cards and is not playing, another player with 4 eliminates that person, getting 9 cards total, then before they can cash in, another players with 4 cards eliminates them, for a total of 13 cards, and the same thing happens again for player 4, making it 17 then you eliminate that player before they can cash in, and if you have 4 cards at the start of the turn, you can have 21 to cash and go against the final player on the board....sully800 wrote:Also, notably, you can get and hold a maximum of 22 cards while someone else is still alive in a six player game. So in theory you could cash 7 sets on one turn. I know it sounds unbelievable, but its a bit of a puzzle how that can happen
Every other player except the one left alive has 4 cards, they finish their turns and each get a card making 4 sets of 5 cards (they don't have to cash till next turn). You have 4 cards at the start of the turn, elimate the 4 players, you now have 24 cards, this means you can make 8 sets if your lucky and still leave one other player alive.kansas wrote:maybe in a freestyle game where a crazy chain happens in which one player has 5 cards and is not playing, another player with 4 eliminates that person, getting 9 cards total, then before they can cash in, another players with 4 cards eliminates them, for a total of 13 cards, and the same thing happens again for player 4, making it 17 then you eliminate that player before they can cash in, and if you have 4 cards at the start of the turn, you can have 21 to cash and go against the final player on the board....sully800 wrote:Also, notably, you can get and hold a maximum of 22 cards while someone else is still alive in a six player game.

hmm, not sure how you could make it 22 though.
No, if you go through and eliminate a player you will be forced to cash in. So you could cash in 8 times in a row the way you mentioned, but you wouldn't ever hold all of the cards. And you wouldn't be able to cash 8 sets in a row, as you would cash, attack someone else, cash....etc.JoeCorden wrote:Every other player except the one left alive has 4 cards, they finish their turns and each get a card making 4 sets of 5 cards (they don't have to cash till next turn).

ah, letting the time run out. i never even considered that.sully800 wrote:Well they tested it to see if it could happen, and I actually think 21 is correct. I'm not sure how you got 18.
First person has 4 cards and eliminates someone with 5. That gives them 9, and they let time expire so they still have 9. Then the next person has 4 and takes out the one with 9 cards. And the pattern continues.
So its 4+5+4+4+4= 21
EDIT: And you're right, it could happen in a freestyle game as well.
Ah ok, I forgot the 5 card cash happens as soon as you eliminate someone. Has it ever happened in a game?sully800 wrote:No, if you go through and eliminate a player you will be forced to cash in.

whats the game number?sully800 wrote:I don't think it would be possible in a real game. The best chance is in freestyle, and I could see someone getting over 9 cards at once as a freak incident, but all 21 would be some of the slimmest odds available (if it wasn't on purpose)
That being said, we're gonna try it!
