- Fewest penalty points ranks first; ties break toward the faster time, so a quick, clean hand beats a slow one.
- Signed-in players keep a permanent name on the board and sync records across devices; guests can still post a display name.
- Switch between Today, This Week, This Month and All Time above to see recent form or lifetime bests.
What counts as a good Omnibus score?
Every hand has 26 penalty points on the table - 13 hearts at 1 point each, plus the Queen of Spades at 13. Here's a rough guide for a single hand:
| 0 points | A perfect hand - you dodged every heart and the queen. |
|---|---|
| 1-4 points | Great - a stray heart or two, nothing worse. |
| 5-8 points | Fine - roughly your fair share of the pain. |
| 13+ points | Painful - the Queen of Spades almost certainly found you. |
| 26 points | You took everything - or shot the moon and came up one trick short. |
Across a full game to 100 points:
| Under 40 total | Excellent - you're steering hands, not just surviving them. |
|---|---|
| 40-60 total | Solid - smart passing and safe exits most of the time. |
| 60-85 total | Average - a queen or two found its way to you. |
| Over 85 total | Rough - time to rethink what you pass. |
The fastest way to climb this board isn't playing faster - it's taking fewer points. Pass your dangerous cards, count the hearts, and let the clock matter only when scores are tied.
