I'm just trying to figure out a good strategy for this game. http://brainking.com/game/Pond?g=213 This is the first time I've made it through this many rounds.

Obviously, at 2000 points per round, everyone would be out of points before they completed the # of rounds needed to complete the game. So the question is, when will the points start to drop?

Based on what was said about a different game, I see that as soon as the players with the least points start to drop off, we would have to bid only one more than the lowest player. But that's still a 2-3 rounds away, and I hate to run my points down that far.

Any comments?
