Tal and I played a quick game of Oh Hell last night, which I won. On the last round, Tal and I were exactly ten points apart.
The last round, a single card is dealt, so Tal could still have won if she had bid 1, which would have forced me to bid 1, and if she had then won the lead. The net result would have been +6 for her and -5 for me.
Unfortunately for her, the King of Diamonds was the trump-determining card, and I held the Ace of Diamonds in my hand.

Another site? I built NearbyGamers because I couldn't find a site to find tabletop gamers on.
Could you give me a link to any you know of? harkins@nearbygamers.com
Peter: people have been using meetup.com to coordinate board game events for some time. I recall other similar services on other sites.
Also, BGG has a user finder and local forums.
Also, various Yahoo groups exist for different locales.
Which doesn't mean NG couldn't be useful, which is why I pointed it out.
