  • Alduin - 58

There's one 1-point row left and AJ snags it while it's still cheap.

That leaves four players and 3 spots on the former Row 2.... fortunately Gypsy heads for Row 4 to delay the inevitable.

Order of Play:

  • Alduin - 14
  • Weez - 20
  • AJ - 54
  • Gypsy - 81


It's a game of over/under. Going under the 58 risks taking Row 2, but it's only 4 points plus whatever card lands there, a worst case 9. Argus snags the last spot and leaves 7 points for Alduin to collect. Weez and AJ follow behind.

Gypsy goes over, hoping someone else would as well. They don't, and she takes 14 points.

Gypsy and Argus head for the wide open space on Row 1, while Weez and AJ squeeze into the last spots on Row 2. Seeing now more room there, Alduin moves back to Row 3.

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 22
  • Argus - 23
  • Alduin - 27
  • AJ - 31
  • Gypsy - 64


Avoiding the risk of Row 2 (with a potential Row 3 bust to expand the blast radius) everyone heads for Row 1 where the game is to not be in the middle spot.

Weez and Argus have guaranteed safe plays to fill the row.

Alduin and AJ play lower, gambling to not be third, but Alduin loses that bet, taking 9 points.

Gypsy perceived the situation and played high, successfully landing in last.
