Thanks, Tony. Pretty sure they're all level 5.

To date, no one has won the 10 in a row it would take to get auto-dealt any but level 5. And I don't think 6x3 appears in any tournaments. So the few non-5 6x3's that have been played all must have come from custom. One of those was played 44 times! I guess by the same player on retries. He never won it.

Thanks Joey. Me bad. I had no idea that 6x3 was THAT difficult! Maybe that is why I have never played it. I just checked, and as of this minute, 6x3/5 has been played 760,688 times! AND, more than TWO THIRDS of them have never been won! Maybe this year, sirius will continue to reduce the number of never won 6x3 games!?

6x3 does appear in tournaments. I think I played it probably in potluck IIRC. But maybe the level was less than 5.

No new wins this year so far, Tony. It's always a pleasant surprise when the game win dialog shows that a game has never been won before, and especially when it shows that there have been a relatively large number of previous attempts. The last new win of 2018, which was 15460-5 on 12/30, had been played 34 times before my win.

Ah, Hop. That probably explains that odd 6x3-6 with 44 plays. I glanced at all the 6x3 game stats level 6 and above. Only one has ever been won, which is a level 10. Also, it looks like levels 1, 2, and 3 do appear in tournaments and a lot of those have been won.
