Order of Play:

Row 1 seems to be a popular destination, with Argus, Gypsy, and AJ piling on.

Weez is the only one who can play on Row 4 and does so!

Order of Play:

  • Argus - 62
  • AJ - 66
  • Weez - 92

Both Gypsy and Argus decide a 2-point bust isn't bad, with Gypsy actually trying for the points and Argus taking it as a risk.

AJ squeezes onto the end of the former Row 1, upping the points while Weez finds space on the former Row 2.

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

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 21
  • AJ - 28
  • Weez - 42
  • Argus - 63

Three players decide a tactical bust is better than playing the odds. Gypsy leads the pack, but in a twist of tactics elects not the two-point Row 1, but takes two additional points on Row 3 in order to expand the number of cards which could bust Row 2 to the 93-98 range, hoping perhaps to catch someone playing on Row 3 this round. No immediate result from that, but we'll see what happens as the old Row 2 remains dangerous.

AJ and Weez follow behind Gypsy on the new Row 1 while Argus increments the new Row 2.

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

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 17
  • Weez - 43
  • Gypsy - 44
  • AJ - 46

In a reversal of the previous round, Argus elects the tactical bust. Of the two 3-point rows, he selects Row 2, which only one card could possibly fit on.

The other players head for the former Row 1. Weez and Gypsy both have guaranteed safe plays, with Gypsy adding enough points to hand AJ 9 points as his gamble does not pay off.

Weez can't resist the one point rows and elects to bust Row 2. That leaves everyone else filing onto the old Row 1.

Order of Play:

  • AJ - 34
  • Gypsy - 35

The wide open expanses of Row 1 beckon. Weez set herself up to dump a single digit card while everyone else crowds into the mid-thirties, filling the row and piling on the points.

It won't be so easy next turn...

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

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 22
  • Gypsy - 30
  • Argus - 79
  • AJ - 86

Trapped between a rock and a hard place, players evaluated their options and chose how many points to risk.

Weez and Gypsy were fortunate enough to have low enough cards to bust. Weez elects to swipe Row 2 for 5 points while Gypsy is pleasantly surprised at not taking any points.

Argus and AJ decided points from Row 3 were probably inevitable and went high, with Argus claiming the 11 points while AJ puts his lucky rabbits foot back in his pocket.

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

Order of Play:

  • Gypsy - 24
  • AJ - 78
  • Argus - 84

Weez and Gypsy team up again to go low, but play in the same order with Weez claiming 2 pionts from Row 3 while Gypsy escapes damage yet again.

On the high end of the board, Argus manages to step behind AJ, avoiding the repeat of the last round as AJ collects 10 points instead.

  • Argus - 41
  • Weez - 68
  • Gypsy - 69

As we enter the final stretch, the pairs of players swap places! AJ and Argus, who had been dueling on the high rows, now play low adding their cards to Row 2, leaving one spot.

Weez and Gypsy switch to the higher cards which... are also on Row 2. With only one spot left to fill, Weez takes it and Gypsy, by a single pip, collects the 11 point row.

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 70
  • AJ - 74
  • Argus - 75
  • Gypsy - 76

I'm not sure if anyone's keeping records, but having all the final cards in a 7-card range is probably a record.

While everyone playing a 7x card is interesting for record-book-keepers, it's uninteresting in final round points as everyone fits neatly on to Row 2.

Final points this round:
Weez 8
Argus 14
Gypsy 17
AJ 19

Cumulative scores this game:
Argus 16
AJ 24
Weez 30
Gypsy 35
