Everyone takes the opportunity to get rid of low cards.

Argus has to take at least one point sometime this game, and chooses the only 1-point row to dump his 1. Everyone else piles onto the new row 2.

Order of Play:

  • Argus - 30
  • Weez - 47
  • AJ - 70

Gypsy is the only one able to play on Row 1 and she does so! Everyone else piles on to Row 3, leaving a single free spot on the board.

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

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 64
  • Argus - 72
  • AJ - 73
  • Weez - 89

Gypsy headed for Row 2 with a high card, crossing her fingers and hoping someone would play under her. Alas, she should perhaps have crossed her toes as well. She collects 7 points.

Argus, AJ, and Weez all aim for the one free spot on Row 3. Argus beats out AJ by a single pip, leaving AJ with 11 points and Weez with a fresh row to land on.

Order of Play:

  • Weez - 78
  • Gypsy - 82

Everyone heads for Row 2 and there's plenty of room for even Gypsy with both fingers and toes crossed to take the last spot!

Gypsy decides to take out Row 1 for 7 points, sparing AJ the honor of the points. Argus tops off the row to kick off walk down strategies.

Weez takes a swipe at Row 2 for 6 points.

Order of Play:

  • AJ - 44
  • Argus - 83
  • Gypsy - 84

Weez and AJ both think a 2-point tactical bust is their best play at this point. Weez collects the points for Row 3 and AJ rides along for free.

Argus and Gypsy see two free spots on Row 1 and quickly fill them!

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

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 56
  • Weez - 95
  • AJ - 101
  • Argus - 103

Gypsy has had the win locked up for a while, but I'm sure it's satisfying for her to play her 56 without taking any points to end the game.

Everyone else had been hoping not to take the 12 points from Row 4, and Weez ends up drawing the short straw there.

Points this round:
