Question

[Ryan]

I was using seed 1080 and the following occured

The top card on the kitty is: QD
Computer (CMA) Player 3 (KH,AH,9H,KD,10C) > Player 3 passes
Computer (CMA) Player 4 (AC,QH,JS,10D,10H) > Player 4 passes
Computer (CMA) Player 1 (JH,AD,10S,KC,QC) > Player 1 passes
Computer (CMA) Player 2 (JD,KS,AS,9D,JC) > Player 2 orders up Player 2.
Player 2 is picking up QD and discarding JC.
Computer (CMA) Player 3 (KH,AH,9H,KD,10C) leads > Player 3 played AH.
Computer (CMA) Player 4 (AC,QH,JS,10D,10H) > Player 4 played 10H.
Computer (CMA) Player 1 (JH,AD,10S,KC,QC) > Player 1 played AD.
Computer (CMA) Player 2 (JD,KS,AS,9D,QD) > Player 2 played JD.
Player 2 won the round.
Computer (CMA) Player 2 (KS,AS,9D,QD) leads > Player 2 played AS.
Computer (CMA) Player 3 (KH,9H,KD,10C) > Player 3 played KD.
Computer (CMA) Player 4 (AC,QH,JS,10D) > Player 4 played JS.
Computer (CMA) Player 1 (JH,10S,KC,QC) > Player 1 played 10S.
Player 3 won the round.
Computer (CMA) Player 3 (KH,9H,10C) leads > Player 3 played KH.
Computer (CMA) Player 4 (AC,QH,10D) > Player 4 played QH.
Computer (CMA) Player 1 (JH,KC,QC) > Player 1 played JH.


Computer (CMA) Player 2 (KS,9D,QD) > Player 2 played 9D.
Computer (CMA) Player 2 (KS,9D,QD) > Player 2 played KS.

Mine had 9D yours had KS. I don't understand why at all?

Kitty was QD so trump is D,

"If it cannot follow suit, it will
attempt to trump with the lowest trump card in its hand if no trump has
been previously played; otherwise, it will play the
highest trump card in its hand if it can beat the highest card currently
played. If it cannot successfully trump, it will throw
off the first, lowest, non-trump card."


Player 2 cannot follow suit, H, he will attempt to trump it? Since no
other trumps have been played yet he will use his lowest 9D???

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks in advance for any help

In the scenario below, a high trump has been played (JH is the left
bower). Player 2 can't beat it, so it plays a nontrump instead.
