Argus steps up to take a point, ensuring that we won't go to a hand 7. Gypsy and Weez keep filling the former Row 1, adding a few points into the mix. Speaking of adding points, AJ does that on Row 3. | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,408 Likes: 13 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,408 Likes: 13 |

- Argus - 14

AJ and Weez spy a chance to unload single-digit cards without taking points, and do so, while Argus also takes advantage of his setup from the pervious turn. Gypsy may have been nervous playing high on Row 3 that she'd be last, but underestimated the shiny object Row 1 presented. | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,408 Likes: 13 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,408 Likes: 13 |

There are four playable spots on the board... And everyone splits up to claim them all! Gypsy grabs the last spot on Row 1 while AJ does the same on Row 2. Argus and Weez fill out Row 3. No free spots left!

Only one point from an intentional bust was taken in the first four turns. That changes now. With all the rows full, points are inevitable. Argus has an opportunity to minimize the damage to 6 points with Row 1, and he takes that. Everyone else plays high on Row 2 with varying degrees of commitment. AJ is the least committed and collects 9 points. | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,408 Likes: 13 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,408 Likes: 13 |

Gypsy knew she had to take at least one point this round and passed on the earlier opportunities. Not now, though. She grabs the point on row 1, saving Weez the trouble, but the two high five with their scores tied at 65. Argus and AJ follow along with guaranteed safe plays, adding enough points to make future turns more interesting tactially. | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,408 Likes: 13 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,408 Likes: 13 |

AJ steps out with an intentional bust, taking the 4 points from Row 2. That leaves the other three players in line for the last spot on the former Row 1. Weez is in the unlucky middle of that sequence, collecting 9 points and putting her in a tie with AJ for third at 74. Gypsy is now in sole possession of the lead at 65. But with multiple 9-point rows it's still anyone's game as we enter the final stretch! | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 10,560 Administrator | Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 10,560 | Did you finish putting the turn in the thread's first post?

Three out of four players surveyed thought a 1-point bust was worth it, and Weez earns that honor. Argus follows along as the fourth card on the new row. | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,408 Likes: 13 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,408 Likes: 13 | Was the suspense killing you?

Order of Play:- AJ - 28

- Weez - 78

AJ has the lowest two cards left in the game, and wisely chooses the 1-point card that will give him fewer points on the last turn, while Gypsy, the sole player left at 65, manages to avoid taking points as she follows behind. That leaves Weez and Argus vying for the last spot on the former Row 1, with Weez winning the scuffle, and Argus collecting 5 points, losing hold of second place in the process. | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,408 Likes: 13 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,408 Likes: 13 |

Gypsy nervously plays her 47, but need not have worried, as both AJ and Weez undercut her with AJ taking the point. Not that the one point would have cost Gypsy the win, but it's so much more fun to finish under 66! Argus has plenty of room on the old Row 1 to finish off the game.
