AJ busts row 2 with Aqua hot on his heels.

Alduin & Argus work in partnership to add lots of points to the new row 2

Weez decided to play high but with worries that she might be out there on her own. And she was! 17 points for the intrepid adventurer!

Unremarkably everyone plays under 86. But who goes first? Alduin steps to one side and invites Aqua to go before him. Obligingly Aqua does so and takes 7 points for his bravery.

But he is an inspiring leader and everyone follows him!

Aqua 43
Weez 58
AJ 63
Alduin 73
Argus 91

Aqua once more steps to the front to take row 1's 5 points. Could be worse.

But this time only 3 others follow!

After denying the inevitable for as long as he can, Argus is forced to play his 91 and bust row 2 for 11 points

but on the bright side he is still in the lead !!

Congrats also go to AJ for surviving the round and commisserations to Weez for more than trebling her score!

On to round 5!

RESULTS END OF ROUND 4

Argus = 31 points

(11 points this round)
Aqua = 42 points (12 points this round)
Weez = 47 points (32 points this round)
