3 self trump
including one diamond

I started late in this game. My generation began 12 hours after game opening... so I played puzzles even when I was pretty sure that they can be trumped.
Next time I'll try to be ready for the game opening.

champagne : how many did you generate (valid minimal) ?

I don't know, but it is of small interest here. I gave up after one day. With 21 clues, to-day, all players performing well have covered more than 90% of the pattern in one day. The challenge is now in patterns having 24-26 clues. Then, the number of puzzles is big enough to open the game.
