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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 68
  • Weez - 77
  • Gypsy - 93
  • Argus - 102

AJ plays the lowest card anyone can play that doesn't bust, starting on Row 1. Weez adds to the points on Row 2, now the row-to-avoid. And Gypsy and Argus conspire to close out Row 3 for everyone except anyone lucky enough to own the 103-card.

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

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 56
  • Gypsy - 81
  • AJ - 83
  • Argus - 95

Weez decides the best move is a 2-point tactical bust, taking out Row 1.

Everyone else fills Row 2!

Are we at a one-row game already?

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 1
  • Argus - 2
  • AJ - 8
  • Weez - 18

Weez's tactical bust last round sets off a mad rush to bust the one-point row. Gypsy knows she's going to take it while everyone else follows behind!

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

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 3
  • Argus - 19
  • AJ - 66
  • Weez - 87


Players line up in the same order as before. Gypsy decides to take a certain 4 points rather than gamble on Row 1, but chooses to bust Row 3 in order to get back to a two-row game.

Argus is lucky enough to have the only guaranteed safe card in the game and plays it.

That leaves AJ holding the 5-point bag with a bust and Weez following behind, possibly challenging Gypsy's attempt to put two rows in play.

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 9
  • Argus - 14
  • Weez - 21
  • Gypsy - 53

Given the vast majority of cards in play fit on Row 1, and that nobody can bust it intentionally, it's no surprise everyone files onto Row 1, filling it.

Order of Play:

  • Gypsy - 48
  • AJ - 61
  • Argus - 62

Weez and Gypsy duck under the Row 1 limbo bar, with Weez taking the 5 points.

AJ and Argus were prepared to jump the Row 1 hurdle but it disappeared before they got there so they landed on the limbo-ers.

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 29
  • AJ - 31
  • Gypsy - 43
  • Argus - 63

Weez is still playing limbo with Gypsy, but AJ joins into the game as well, still not going as low as Weez who wins another 5 points as a reward!

And Argus once again is spared points playing above the row that got knocked down.

Order of Play:

  • Gypsy - 38
  • Argus - 65

AJ finally wins the limbo game, taking Row 1's 4 points. Everyone else follows behind, including Argus who would have been above that 63.

  • AJ - 47
  • Weez - 96

Argus reveals he's actually a limbo fan, having waited until the final turn to go lower than everyone else for the past few turns. He has his choice of 6 point rows, either of which produce the same outcome: he gets six points, his first of the game, while Gypsy and AJ follow behind.

And Weez finds out that what she expected comes to pass as she's stuck with Row 3's 12 points.

Scores for this round:

Gypsy 5
Argus 6
AJ 9
Weez 24

Total scores so far this game:

Gypsy 13
AJ 18
Argus 21
Weez 40
