Argus and Weez both step out early with intent to bust for a point. Argus wins that contest, swiping the unplayable Row 4. AJ and Gypsy create a new unplayable Row 4.

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 14
  • Gypsy - 22
  • Argus - 23
  • Weez - 27

The players get together to discuss placement of low cards.
lurk
With two on Row 1 and two on Row 2, everyone fits! Or, someone could play over 80. Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy!

Except someone doesn't get the memo. AJ is fine on Row 1, and Gypsy and Argus feel rather safe on Row 2. But alas, Weez finds no more room on Row 2, collecting 9 points.

And the carnage isn't over. Weez's play leaves a 1 point row that surely won't survive tactical plays to avoid (or make others fall into traps on) Row 1 which keeps collecting points.

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 7
  • Weez - 77
  • Gypsy - 78
  • Argus - 96

AJ has the perfect card to take a point and watch what happens.

Argus heads for the safety of Row 3.

Weez and Gypsy both played high on Row 2, expecting someone to play lower, but unfortunately with Argus defecting onto Row 3, it turns out high was the wrong tactic for only two players. Weez adds 5 more points to the row just in time for Gypsy to follow a single step behind and collect 15 points.

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 24
  • Gypsy - 29
  • Weez - 79
  • AJ - 93

With plenty of space on the first two rows, the players split off two-by-two.

Weez and AJ take the high road, Argus and Gypsy take the low road and will be in Scotland afore ye.

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

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 31
  • Weez - 44
  • AJ - 99
  • Argus - 102

As space dwindles, Gypsy and Weez are brave enough to risk Row 1, filling it up.

AJ and Argus escape to Row 3, probably surprised to have company. They fill that row up as well, although it's less likely to pose a danger.

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

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 25
  • Gypsy - 68
  • Weez - 73
  • AJ - 95

Argus decides a sure-thing 3 points is better than taking a risk on whatever's happening on Row 1. He swipes Row 2.

Gypsy and Weez each try to stand back and let someone else go first....

Eventually Gypsy finds herself the lucky recipient of 9 points, while Weez follows a few steps behind. AJ initially headed for the old Row 2 and now caps off the new Row 2.

Gypsy gets a break from being first as AJ volunteers to step up! Not that it matters on this turn as there are four spaces on Row 1 and everybody fits there!

Order of Play:

  • Weez - 57

AJ seems to like his position in the front of the line, this time taking 4 points so Gypsy doesn't have to. He's got enough of a lead that he can afford it. smile

Everyone else follows behind...

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 60
  • AJ - 61
  • Gypsy - 62
  • Argus - 67

Had I been playing in this game and busted on the last round, I might have deviously taken Row 2 to catch someone unawares. grin

But it turns out nobody has a tactical bust, and everyone lands on Row 2 with Weez taking 6 points to finish out the game.

Final scores this hand:
Argus 4
AJ 5
Weez 15
Gypsy 24

Final scores this game:
AJ 25
Argus 48
Weez 65
Gypsy 83
