tougher than game 40

Interesting. Game 40 was remarkable for the high level of trumping, but using 'modern technology' one can see quite quickly that the game never converged to a true end. Here is a sample of 'more' that includes two rarities and a high diamond:

tougher than game 40

Game 40 was remarkable for the high level of trumping,
but using 'modern technology' one can see quite quickly that
the game never converged to a true end.

nice additions for game 40. thank you!!

but Layout 40 has 23 cells given;
a better comparison for 278 would be game 41

... where we find at least these seven trumps, including two modest diamonds:
