There are a large number of penalty card situations in Double Bonus. The Dancer/Daily Winner's Guide explains all of them. Figuring them outself yourself is a time-intensive process --- plus you miss some and likely draw some wrong conclusions on a few of them. The Winner's Guide series is inexpensive and very useful for those who care about winning. Bob
