Order of Play:

With a wide-open board and lots of options, players scatter.

Weez heads for Row 1, while Alduin slips onto Row 3. Argus, AJ, and Gypsy nearly close out Row 4, leaving room for the 104 if anyone has it.

We started with four 1-point rows and only have one left. Argus swipes it.

Weez and Gypsy land on the new Row 2, leaving space for one more, while Alduin and AJ do the same with Row 3.

Row 1 becons, and Weez, Gypsy, and Argus take up 3 of the 4 spots there.

AJ takes the last spot on Row 2, while Alduin does the same on Row 3.

No points this round, but that won't last. weg

  • Gypsy - 92


With one free spot on Row 1, the goal is not to be second. Weez is the unlucky recipient of 8 points.

Meanwhile, Gypsy was hoping someone was stuck playing over 50. Nope. She collects 11 points.

Order of Play:

  • Alduin - 11
  • Gypsy - 33
  • Argus - 51
  • Weez - 96


The one-point row beckons, and AJ, Alduin, and Gypsy all queue up to take Row 2 with AJ succeeding in taking the point while Alduin and Gypsy succeed in not taking any points.

That leaves Argus and Weez to close off the new Row 2.

Argus dons his armor and runs headfirst into the wall at Row 1, smashing it open and leaving a hole for Gypsy, AJ, and Alduin.

There was room for Weez as well, but she veers off course and hits the Row 2 wall instead. Oops.

Alduin is first in line this time, but has a nice 1-point row courtesy of Weez.

Everyone follows along except Argus, who ends up taking the last spot on the old Row 1

Order of Play:
  • Alduin - 18
  • Gypsy - 61
  • AJ - 67
  • Weez - 91
  • Argus - 102


Alduin is once again at the head of the pack, this time with a 6-point row to minimize the damage. Gypsy follows along.

That puts AJ up with a guaranteed safe play on the old Row 1, incrementing the row to 9 points for Weez to take.

And Argus realizes that yes, he's stuck with that 13-point Row 3.

Scores for this hand:

Gypsy 0
AJ 1
Alduin 7
Argus 20
Weez 36
