Joel opened the game trading NN and holding CEINT. He then went on to play 4 bingos sequentially. Then, after a non-bingo, his next 2 plays were bingos. So, he played 6 bingos in 7 turns. His score after 8 turns was 494.

In reviewing the game, Joel noticed his original bingo could have been INTERACT at E4 for 90 points, but then he might not have been able to play a second bingo on his next turn. Perhaps his opponent would have blocked the two places for that bingo.

This is third time in the history of the Lexington Club when one player bingoed six times. It is also the third time a player played four bingos in four consectutive plays.
