I so take scoring for granted in my programs that it absolutely never occurred to me to investigate my high scores. In reality, I ended the game with only 74 points (not 102!), and, thus, finished 2nd, 14 points behind purple. Needless to say, this bug is now squashed and will hopefully never rear its ugly head again should I present another Horseless Carriage video in the future. ****************************************** Want to see a list of all my board game videos?
