Yun and I continue to give Matt and Dana free Spades lessons. We had an opportunity to play last weekend on their visit. Since we hear so much about the Kruis’ rules and how difficult they were (despite being a falsification of true Spades), we agreed to play by those rules.
As everyone expected, Yun and I dominated. In fact, our domination was so much that the game ended half way through.
Documentary evidence:
Also, I think Matt and Dana may have intended Team Lightning Speed as their team name, rather than Team Lightening Speed as it carries a slightly different connotation. That was my mistake.
