Order of Play:
  • AJ - 3
  • Argus - 78
  • Weez - 81
  • Gypsy - 94

AJ takes a page out of Weez's playbook, busting Row 3 for a point.

Everyone else was targeting the old Row 3 and fills up the new Row 3 instead.

 -----------------------------------

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 2
  • Gypsy - 7
  • Weez - 21
  • AJ - 99

Argus goes for a 1-point bust, taking out Row 2. Not that it mattered which row because Gypsy and Weez pile on to the other one.

AJ sneaks in to the last spot on Row 4 while nobody's looking.

 -----------------------------------

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 24
  • Gypsy - 25
  • Weez - 26
  • AJ - 95

There are four spots on Row 1, where any card under 21 was safe. But nobody played there.

Instead, three players thought they had a fair shot at one of the two spots on Row 2. Argus and Gypsy arrive safely, while Weez collects 6 points, making a lot more room on the low end of the board.

AJ continues in his sneaky ways, filling out Row 3 and making this a two-row game!

 -----------------------------------

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 1
  • AJ - 10
  • Weez - 29
  • Argus - 31

Gypsy figures her 1 will take a point sometime and that time may as well be now. She chooses row 2.

That leaves everyone else piling onto the new row 2.

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 15
  • Weez - 30
  • AJ - 33
  • Argus - 35

Any card under 31 is safe, and Gypsy and Weez take advantage!

AJ gambles that nobody will play the 32 under him and succeeds in upping the Row 2 score to 11 points just in time for Argus to claim it. Ouch!

AJ squeezes onto Row 1 while everyone else heads for Row 2, leaving one spot on both those rows.

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 50
  • AJ - 53
  • Gypsy - 73
  • Weez - 90

With only two free spots on the board, it's a given that someone is taking points this turn!

Argus confidently plays his 50, taking the last spot on Row 2, leaving AJ to collect 9 points as his bid to claim the same spot falls short. Gypsy and Weez follow behind at some distance, happy to avoid the carnage.

 -----------------------------------

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 58
  • Gypsy - 61
  • Weez - 82
  • AJ - 92

The penultimate turn is usually a tactical high-low choice for players, and this time they all took the high road.

Argus, Gypsy, and Weez all headed for Row 1, where Gypsy's luck finally ran out as she played second fiddle and took 8 points.

AJ calmly landed on Row 2 to watch the shenanigans from a safe perch.
