AJ heads for the wide-open Row 1, while Argus and Alduin pile on to Row 2. Gypsy and Weez high-five on Row 3.

Space is dwindling!

Order of Play:

  • AJ - 27
  • Argus - 38
  • Gypsy - 62
  • Weez - 81


Alduin decides to grab his "guaranteed points" before they get more expensive, pulling the Row 2 Rug out from under Gypsy.

Fortunately only AJ and Argus land on the old Row 1, leaving Gypsy a nice soft landing.

Weez avoids the chaos, taking the last spot on Row 3.

  • Gypsy - 3
  • Alduin - 4
  • Argus - 6
  • Weez - 11


I looked at everyones cards and correctly guessed exactly what you all would play. smile

Alduin plays his 4 on Row 1 that he set up for himself, but has to wait in line behind AJ and Gypsy. Argus snags the last spot on the row, completing the single-digit card plays.

That leaves a 5-point row for Weez to take with a 5-point card.

Shall we do it again? smile

I guess the answer is yes! Everyone piles on to the only row with space, and a player with a 5-point card (Alduin this time, for 11 points) finishes it off, bringing us back where we started.

And it's like déjà vu all over again!.

Everyone heads to Row 1, where there's room for four. This time it's AJ's turn to be left out in the cold, bettering Weez's 5 and Alduin's 11 with a stunning 13 point haul.

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 21
  • Gypsy - 50
  • Weez - 51
  • AJ - 72
  • Alduin - 95


As options dwindle, we break out of the repeating pattern of everyone on the same row.

Argus leads the charge on a low bust for 3 points, with Gypsy and Weez following behind.

AJ is stuck with Row 2's 9 points and Alduin with Row 3's 7 points, however.

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 7
  • Weez - 32
  • Argus - 96
  • Alduin - 98
  • AJ - 101


No one was fooled by the apparent safety of Row 2, for good reason. Gypsy swipes it eagerly, taking a point, while Weez enjoys the benefits without the pip on her score.

Argus, Alduin, and AJ leave a spot for the 102 on Row 3 if anyone has it...

Alduin, Gypsy, and AJ queue up to snag the two points for Row 1, but Alduin really means it. Weez follows on behind them.

Argus sneaks into one of the two remaining spots on Row 2.

Order of Play:
  • Alduin - 65
  • Argus - 67
  • Weez - 69
  • Gypsy - 75
  • AJ - 97


Everyone plays on Row 2, where there's only space for one. Argus's play there last turn makes him the second player this turn, costing him 8 points. (Had he switched card order he'd have taken Row 1 after Alduin for an even worse score.). The crowd follows behind.

Scores after this hand:

Player Score
Gypsy 1
Weez 5
Argus 11
AJ 22
Alduin 23
