Order of Play:
  • AJ - 9
  • Weez - 10
  • Gypsy - 88
  • Argus - 89

Two by two the players arrive. AJ and Weez increment Row 1 by a pip each, while Gypsy and Argus do similarly on Row 4 with a skipped number.

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

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 12
  • Weez - 23
  • Gypsy - 90
  • AJ - 94

Argus sneaks onto Row 1 with a guaranteed safe card, while Weez finds herself unopposed on Row 2. Gypsy and AJ fill up Row 4, and anyone with a card over 94 might get nervous now.

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

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 26
  • Gypsy - 48
  • Weez - 56
  • AJ - 85

The spaces on the board are dwindling, but in theory it's possible to go four rounds with nobody taking points...

Argus slips onto Row 2 while everyone else piles on to Row 3.

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

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 13
  • Weez - 34
  • Argus - 36
  • AJ - 91

I mentioned last round it was possible to go a fourth round with nobody taking points, and you were up to the challenge!

Gypsy snags the last spot on Row 1, but nobody takes that row (yet), leaving it around to catch some unwary person later!

Weez and Argus pair up to fill up Row 2.

And AJ takes the last spot on Row 3.

Four rounds. No points taken. No spots left....

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 3
  • Argus - 55
  • Gypsy - 80
  • Weez - 81

Everyone decides that Row 2 has the fewest points and is a good target.

AJ decides better to take the sure thing 5-points rather than risk someone else doing what he did... busting the row and setting up the next victim.

That next victim being Argus, who collects 7 points. Gypsy and Weez go high enough to avoid the carnage.

Four spots on Row 1, and this crowd has demonstrated the ability to fill spots exactly!

Now zero spots on Row 1!

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

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 15
  • AJ - 33
  • Weez - 68
  • Argus - 82

With a commanding lead in the game, Gypsy has plenty of room to be tactical and play spoiler. She intentionally busts but rather than taking the lowest-point Row 1, she decides to take Row 3 instead at the small cost of two extra points, hoping to catch some other player on the full Row 1.

AJ avoids Gypsy's snare, having been willing to take 5 points himself, and Argus slips quietly onto Row 2 while dodging Gypsy's dastardly plan. But Weez ends up falling for the trap, busting Row 1.

  • Weez - 63
  • Argus - 65

AJ thinks Row 1 doesn't have enough points on it and adds 5 more. Gypsy and Weez follow along to fill the row.

And Argus arrives to find 14 points gift wrapped for him to take home.

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 51
  • AJ - 60
  • Weez - 96
  • Argus - 102

Gypsy has the honour of going first and has her pick of 3-point rows. It doesn't matter which one she takes, so I'll arbitrarily pick Row 2 for her. smile AJ follows behind.

Weez and Argus were avoiding the 11-point Row 4 all game, but eventually they had to play their high cards. Weez takes the 11 points while Argus breathes a sigh of relief.

Score this hand:
AJ 5
Gypsy 10
Weez 16
Argus 21

Scores so far this game:
Gypsy 11
AJ 19
Argus 30
Weez 32
