Weez 36 Argus 62 AJ 64 Aqua 68 Alduin 72 Weez plays low, maybe hoping someone would be lower, but she ends up busting row 4 for 8 points. Could have been the best option.

Argus 12 Alduin 40*3 Aqua 65*2 Weez 86 AJ 89 Argus goes first with his low 12, busting row 3 for the 1 point! Alduin & Aqua follow on. That leaves Weez and AJ hanging in mid air. Weez is the first to drop and she takes out the new row 3 on her way down at the cost of 12 points. AJ breathes a small sigh of relief as he lands on Weez  | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 80,337 Likes: 75 Wizop Administrator | | OP Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 80,337 Likes: 75 | Round 1 Turn 10TURN START POSITION

Aqua 63 AJ 84 Weez 90*3 Argus 98 Alduin 103 Now all the high cards that people have been holding back emerge from the woodwork! But Aqua has played a canny game and with the only lowish card busts row 3 for 2 points! AJ squeezes into the last spot on the new row 3 just in time to side swipe Weez with 7 points!! This leaves Argus busting row 4 for 11 points  whilst Alduin follows on. Carnage! RESULTS END OF ROUND 1AJ = 0 points Aqua = 2 points Alduin = 8 points Argus = 31 points Weez = 39 points  Such a wide range of results from just ONE round. AJ is to be highly commended along with Aqua for their very low scores, zero and 2 points respectively. Alduin did pretty well with just 8. But Argus and Weez, we can only sympathise.
