I still haven't mastered this game-#1351213568
it is driving me crazy, does anyone know if it is indeed do-able or not?
I have done 154 of the games but this one has me stumped. Please help or at least tell me if it can be done then I can move on. |

How about Napoleon's Square #1997345408? With all those people in the stats page with THOUSANDS of wins, they should be able to help us out! |

Napoleon's Square #1997345408 and #1351213568.
In my opinion neither game is winnable despite my best efforts.

Thanks, Trisha!
(As for you, Richard, I'm disappointed you didn't take the bait. I set them up, and you knock them down!) |

Sorry Ken, as the saying goes "Time and cooker wait for no man". No point in taking ages to prepare a nice meal and then letting it overcook. After all, I can extract the amber liquid from you any old time, but my gourmet chicken is a LOT of work.
BTW, If you set them up, I will most definitely knock them down. Just fire a few bucks into my account and I'll do the rest. Can never take too much dosh on holiday. Very thirsy work this not working lark.
Napoleon's Square is too easy for you to waste our time on. Two more TI's await your attention.
Think Mike may have fallen/rolled into a sand trap and can't get back out. |

Now that I've done my 50 40 Thieves games, I needed a break, and NS fit the bill. Didn't have a dosh (or is that dash?) of problem until that # I just posted (which I did get, btw, w/o having to resort to Trisha's solution...just needed to know that it was winnable!). |

I'm having a break from TI's again. I tried consecutive numbers from your Napoleon's Square and got them all quite easily. Very rarely needed to worry back. I'm not fussy what you dredge up. It keeps me amused. Paul's QI a day or two ago was a blinder. Give it a go yourself.
The only dish I'm interested in these days is of the edible variety. Dosh is quite another matter. |

Trisha, since Richard thinks Napoleon's Square is such an easy game, we won't bother him, but tell me what do you think of #1045444608?
Thanks, Ken |

Now,now Kenneth. Richard didn't say Napoleon's Square was an easy game. He said that the ones he'd TRIED had been easy.
Mike. (proxy).
Thanks Mike. Now what do I think of 1045444608? I thought she was too tall for my taste and she could have done with shedding a few pounds. I said the fags would kill her, and she died peacefully in her sleep aged just 47. No flowers please. |

You could have your jaw expanded too. Make a bit more room to accomodate Ken too. Forget what they say. Three aint a crowd. |

No thanks. One expansion per family is enough for me. And I don't think there is room for Ken. He would probably want to bring his bike along too. |

Did you or Trisha save it? I'd be interested to see why I laboured over it for so long. I must have missed something pretty early. |

Thanks Trisha. I really did make life difficult for myself despite having 2 empty columns very early in the game. We saw the game differently. WELL DONE TRISHA!!!! (That's to placate Ken). |

Ken,I cleared column 3 at 5/36/15 and immediately released the 5C from col 7. Worried back with the spades late in the game. |

I might have a wind problem but at least my eyesight isn't failing, unlike yours. No offense, but I was kinda hoping for the solution to the # that I had posted! |

I'm beginning to think that it's unwinnable Ken. I frequently get to within a card of getting a few more off the tableau but never get a space when it's around. I'll plod on but I'm hoping that Trisha can put us both out of yOUR misery. |

This is my best score of 49.I think this game may be impossible because it seems impossible to get the 7d and 6s out. |

An interesting attack Trisha but it didn't provide any immediate help. Have a look at this one. It's oh so close. If I could just move the QH I have the 7D ready to play. |

Ken, I started at one of your posted numbers to see how many consecutive ones I could win. The run now extends from 1009276951 to 1009277053 and it's still operational (at one end anyway). That's 100+
