Gypsy and weez kick off the hand with consecutive guaranteed safe plays on Row 1. AJ and Alduin slide onto Row 2, and Argus decides dumping high cards on Row 4 is the best option. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 12,546 Likes: 23 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 12,546 Likes: 23 |

Alduin has a guaranteed safe play on Row 1. Argus's play on Row 2 isn't technically guaranteed safe, but who would bust a 7 point row when a 1 point row is available? Everyone else assumes Row 3 won't attract five players, and the three who play there leave one spot for someone with one of the 3 cards that fits there. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 12,546 Likes: 23 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 12,546 Likes: 23 |

There's not much space anywhere except Row 4. And that is an illusion as we shall soon see. Gypsy opts to take a 2-point bust of Row 4, eliminating those three spots and leaving three players vying for the one spot on the former Row 3. AJ ducks below that competition, taking the last spot on the old Row 2. Weez knows she can take that last Row 3 spot, and Alduin loses the gamble that the 92 wasn't out there, collecting 5 points. Argus slips in for free at the end. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 12,546 Likes: 23 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 12,546 Likes: 23 |

AJ has a guaranteed safe play, while Argus, Gypsy, and Weez follow along with increasing levels of risk, filling Row 1. Alduin gambles again, successful this time, filling Row 2. I predict a lot of points are about to be taken, 2 of them intentionally and the rest not. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 12,546 Likes: 23 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 12,546 Likes: 23 |

Three players line up to attempt the two point bust, with AJ winning the honors. Alduin and Argus follow along. Weez and Gypsy have the opposite situation, both trying to play as high as possible on Row 2 to avoid points. Gypsy gets closest to the actual retail price without going over, and Weez takes home a 10-point prize. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 12,546 Likes: 23 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 12,546 Likes: 23 |

Four out of five players surveyed play on Row 2. Weez doesn't have any illusions of escaping the carnage and takes the 9 points while Argus, AJ, and Gypsy follow behind. Alduin slips quietly onto Row 3 while nobody's looking. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 12,546 Likes: 23 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 12,546 Likes: 23 |

Everyone plays on Row 1, where the name of the game is not to be third. Argus and Weez play low, while Gypsy and Alduin play high. AJ gambled on a different high-low split with his middle play and collects 11 points. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 12,546 Likes: 23 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 12,546 Likes: 23 |

Argus collects Row 1's 2 points and starts a new Row 1, with AJ, Alduin and Gypsy joining to fill four spots on it. Weez heads to the other end of the board and collects 2 (in binary) points. Too bad the scores totals aren't in binary. Fun fact: Argus is in the lead by 25 points. I'm not sure he could lose this game if he tried.  | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 80,333 Likes: 75 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 80,333 Likes: 75 | WOW. And he did well in the other game too, leading having just won it!

Argus races ahead to take the 1-point Row 4, with Gypsy following behind. AJ has a guaranteed safe play on the old Row 1, now Row 2. And Weez and Alduin slide into the last two spots on the new Row 4. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 12,546 Likes: 23 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 12,546 Likes: 23 |
