That top row looks very tempting but only AJ goes for it!

Which is as well as the other three fit nicely on row 2, more than doubling the points!

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 36
Aqua 42
Argus 62
Weez 87

There is room for 3 on the top row but all is well as only 2 venture there! AJ and Aqua land safely.

Unfortunately Argus looks around and finds himself on his own targeting row 2. As a consequence all 16 points are his

Weez headed for the open vistas of row 3!

Play in order of lowest card first:

Aqua 34
AJ 39
Argus 63
Weez 73

That 1 point row looks very attractive and two players go for it, Aqua getting there first with AJ following on!

This choice leaves Argus and Weez arguing over the last spot on the new row 2, Argus winning musical chairs and Weez being forced to bust for 7 points!

Lots of space now!

Play in order of lowest card first:

Weez 40*3
Aqua 46
Argus 48
AJ 53

There is a lot of interest in row 1's three spaces or a desire to ditch low cards.. or both.

Unfortunately 4 into 3 doesn't go.

AJ is left holding the baby as everyone else rushes onto tow 1 leaving him out in the cold with 7 points for company!
