RATUKI GO-ROUND

20 cards ready for both teams. Here's how it played out:

Sheila's stuck trying to play her 1, allowing Taylor's team to pass. But once they pass, the Reds are on fire. Sheila's back with the 1... and she's in on a 2. Now Jacob's dad is tied up. Big Julian's also tied up, and both dads pass. The Reds are passing up. Taylor plays a hail-mary... and that doesn't work. Ruby plays the 4... and here comes Jacob with the 5! Twin-tuition!
