I have the same questions here as I did with Insomniac's challenge: There is not enough information on the scoring method.

Is it:
Highest value bank, turns as tiebreaker?
Quickest to reach a value of X (20?) with bank?
Highest value of bank minus the number of turns?

Also, do we need to end the game, or can we just resign whenever we reach a high bank value?

1) The highest value of Bank, with turn as tiebraker.
2) Yes, once you get the desired outcome,you may resign.

Not many entries in, so I am going to postpone posting the results to whenever I have enough entries.

I tried this challenge today and found it wasn't very fun.  The problem is that getting a high value for bank doesn't really have much of a strategy without a constraint on the number of turns.  So it really comes down to prolonging the game to where you can get get lucky enough to have the cards line up on the right turn. 

I would recommend changing the scoring to either the highest value in a set number of turns or some formula using value of bank and number of turns. Also I would recommend some kind of ending condition so you have to balance ending the game and scoring highly on bank.

Thanks for the input. Will be sure to enforce these rules on any future solo challenges.
