Order of Play:
  • AJ - 2
  • Gypsy - 8
  • Weez - 9
  • Alduin - 66
  • Argus - 102


AJ picks an early time to take his point, busting Row 4.

Gypsy and Weez play on what's now Row 2.

Alduin bumps up the points on the new Row 4, but Argus goes high enough that it won't be a danger to anyone.

Order of Play:
  • Alduin - 6
  • Gypsy - 11
  • Weez - 37
  • Argus - 45
  • AJ - 99


Alduin makes use of the space AJ created last turn on Row 1, while Gypsy has a guaranteed safe play on Row 2.

Weez isn't guaranteed safety but still makes a low risk play on Row 3, followed by Argus and AJ.

Lots of points on the board!

Four out of five players surveyed chose Row 2, where the game was to not be second. Argus and AJ raced to be first on that row, with AJ collecting the silver medal and 10 points. Weez and Gypsy follow behind.

Alduin escapes the fray, closing off Row 3.

It seems the game is to not be fourth on Row 1... or is it?

Gypsy busts Row 1 for 2 points, making everyone else safe!

It's walkdown time. Or dump-low time for some players. Argus nabs 3 points while Alduin dumps low for free. Everyone else follows behind.

Order of Play:
  • Alduin - 22
  • Weez - 61
  • Gypsy - 79
  • Argus - 80
  • AJ - 87


Everyone plays to bust except AJ, who risks 7 points on the knowledge it's the lowest-point row, and someone else will likely bust it.

Alduin obliges, taking the 7 points and letting AJ cap off the row one pip higher.

It's walk down time, with only one single-digit point row. Weez claims those 9 points and everyone follows along.
