Courtesy fills: Many
times in the final stages one player may only be able to fill five or
six of the remaining glasses. At this point he or she has lost this
particular match. The other player at their option my offer a
"courtesy fill" to continue the game.
Note:
"Courtesy fills" are common in non-tournament play
The Toast Round:
| After the last line has been won, the winner fills whatever glass his/her opponent was not able to fill and declares the toast
round. |
 |
The winner generally takes a
glass for themselves, and then pass the rest
around for the toast. The winner makes a toast and every one drinks up and then places the glasses back on the board.
The winner now has control of the board and may take on other challengers if he/she so wishes.
If the winner does not want to continue to play, the "table"
goes to the next pair of players.
Others Rules:
-
If you spill it, you fill
it.
-
Toss a dice in a glass,
your opponent gets to drink and you fill the glass.
-
Biffy runs are allowed as
long as the biff is in close proximity. Unattended tablero games are
sacrosanct during this period.

Rule. Named after our very own Ah-Pook MacThoy nee McGurn.

Rolling a 12. You get to
yell at someone, "Kielbasa! Its big, but you can't do anything
with it!"
-
Rolling a 1 and 2:
Cardinal Bogs Number. No, I don't know who Cardinal Bog is. No, I
haven't the foggiest why 3 is his number.
(Note: Baron
Steffano kindly wrote and told me Cardinal Bog taught the
first Arugula to play Tablero and they gave him the number. What
amazes me is Cardinal Bog scored 121 points at the 3YC Tablero
Tournament. Amazing)
