Play in order of lowest card first:

Alduin 48
Aqua 80*3
Weez 98
Argus 100*3
AJ 102

Well after that punishing or near punishing experience of row 4 last round, not surprising most folk choose to play high this round, generally not a bad policy wink

Alduin starts conservatively on row 1. wink Aqua follows.

The other 3 play on row 4, leaving one space...

Play in order of lowest card first:

Alduin 14
Aqua 45*2
AJ 46
Argus 86
Weez 101

Alduin decides to bust wanting the least points, so chooses row 1 for 3! wink Aqua and AJ follow on.

The problem are is at the bottom end of the board where Argus plays a sneaky 86 filling row 3 and forcing Weez to bust it for 7 points sad Now the new row 3 is likely to attract some interest! wink

I thought the 1 point row might attract.. but only two players? Weez is the most determined and takes the point! Aqua follows on.

AJ & Argus conspire to fill the new row 2 and double the points! wink Fortunately Alduin plays on the new row 3.

Play in order of lowest card first:

Aqua 16
Alduin 32
AJ 40*3
Weez 52
Argus 94

Interesting. At this stage options are very limited.

Aqua plays first and busts row 2 for 8 points. sad Alduin follow on.

And this has the effect that AJ, rather than Weez, has to bust the new row 2 for 10 points eek whilst Weez follows on. smile

Argus slips safely ontp row 3, filling it.

Although a lot of space was created last round, quite a few still have low cards. Alduin plays his 18, taking row 1 for 2 points.

And everyone else follows on! grin

And the game is not over.. though it won't take much! lol

RESULTS END OF ROUND 4

Argus = 28 points grin
Alduin = 43 points smile
Aqua = 54 points
AJ = 56 points
Weez = 64 points sob
