Winning Hands

After all rounds have been played, the best set of four cards is selected to be scored from among those played, using the following ranking:

1. Surprise Ball: Four desire cards of the same suit in sequential order.

2. Christening: Queen and 3 desire cards of the same value.

3. Dance: Jack and 3 desire cards in sequential order (ignore suit).

If multiple sets of the same rank could be made, the set containing the desire with the highest value is selected. If the winning set could be made multiple ways (e.g. with a rogue instead of a desire of the same value), the festivity runner decides which specific cards will be selected.

If no set of the above ranks can be made, a Quiet Gathering occurs. The four lowest desires are selected as the winning set, ignoring rogues. If there were fewer than four desires played, score only those.

During Quiet Gatherings, treat constables as zero-value desires. This means constables will always be selected during a Quiet Gathering
