Order of Play:
  • Argus - 2
  • Weez - 4
  • Alduin - 46
  • AJ - 89
  • Gypsy - 100


Argus and Weez take advantage of the single-digit row 1 to dump their low cards, while Alduin heads for Row 2. AJ and Gypsy head to Row 4.

Still plenty of room everywhere!

Gypsy increments Row 1 by a pip while Weez does the same on Row 2, followed by Argus.

Alduin and AJ close off Row 4, stranding anyone with the 103 or 104. weg

Alduin snags the last space on Row 2, edging out AJ to hand him 6 points.

Argus and Gypsy head for Row 3.

Weez figures now's as good a time as any to claim Row 4's 11 points.

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • AJ - 11
  • Argus - 56
  • Gypsy - 62
  • Alduin - 77
  • Weez - 104

AJ squeezes into the last spot on Row 1, leaving behind a 10-point row that someone is likely to claim...soon.

But not today, as Argus, Gypsy, and Alduin head for Row 2, piling on the points there as well with only one space remaining.

Weez set herself up (at a cost) for a nice safe play on Row 4.

Weez and Gypsy play high on Row 1 hoping to not be the lowest. Weez loses that contest and collects 10 points.

Alduin and AJ play on Row 2 hoping to be the lowest, or at least not second. AJ loses out by a pip and collects 17 points.

Argus increments Row 3 whilst watching the carnage below.

The one-point row attracts a crowd, with Weez rushing to the front of the line, with Gypsy, Argus, and AJ not far behind.

Alduin spots a safe play for his 75.

Order of Play:

  • Alduin - 23
  • Gypsy - 26
  • AJ - 29
  • Argus - 95


Weez is first in line to bust Row 4 for 2 points, while Alduin and Gypsy follow behind.

AJ had a guaranteed safe play on the former Row 1, which is now full and waiting to trap anyone with a card higher than 29 and lower than 95, which Argus deposits on the former Row 3.

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • Alduin - 25
  • Argus - 54
  • Weez - 61
  • AJ - 65
  • Gypsy - 66


Alduin has a bust, and Row 1's 3 points are his cheapest option.

That leaves everyone else stuck on Row 2. Gypsy crosses her fingers, which is unnecessary as she's comfortably in last. AJ says "oof" but he's in the penultimate spot in the queue next to Gypsy, and is rather safe. Weez is uncertain, with a skeptical blank expression, but she's fine as well. Because Argus bravely steps to the front of the line to collect 11 points, without any expression at all. Maybe he knew it was inevitable.

Everyone heads for Row 1, but Weez doesn't head there fast enough, collecting 6 points. Couldda been worse.

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 38
  • Argus - 40
  • AJ - 43
  • Alduin - 49
  • Weez - 57


Everyone heads for Row 1 again, but this time it's bustable. Gypsy takes the point (her first this hand and the last player who hadn't taken points) and this time there's enough room for everybody!

Scores this hand:
Gypsy 1
Alduin 3
Argus 11
AJ 23
Weez 29

Total scores this round:
Gypsy 2
Argus 22
Alduin 26
Weez 34
AJ 45

I'll take a break before dealing the next hand, until I'm back from my vacation. smile
