Blocking the Game

If in the course of the game it is impossible for any of the players to play, the game is Blocked. The player or partners having the least spots in his or their combined hands scores the total of the spots in the opponents hands rounded to the nearest five. The score of 250 points is usually considered a game. The first person or partnership to score this amount wins the game. Shuffle and begin a new game. The player who won plays first.
