Getting interesting now...

Aqua is gleeful as he fills in the last spot on the new row 3, sure he will catch someone!

Weez 65*2
AJ 74
Argus 82

Well there is room for 3 on the top row but not the four desired by the last player

Argus takes 6 points which could be a lot worse!

RESULTS END OF ROUND 1

Weez = 2 points

Aqua = 5 points

Argus = 15 points
AJ = 22 points

Painful midgame to that hand.

Looked OK to me.

There were multiple times I was prepared to take points and AJ decided to be nice to me.

Well, maybe not decided..
