The Wild Card Solo is the Game's supreme predictive stroke, a solo in the Wild Card spot. The gamester is not just the only person to pick the hit as a Wild Card, but the only person to select this pick at all, showcasing the pick as their Wild Card. All Wild Cards are worth five points; the point values shown below correspond to the age of the pick, to give you an idea of the style of the gamester, i.e. one point = 90 and older, two points = 80's, etc.
