Order of Play:

  • Argus - 74
  • Weez - 81
  • AJ - 91


Unsurprisingly the lower two rows are ignored. Alduin and Gypsy head for Row 3, while Argus, Weez, and AJ head for row 4.

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 1
  • Alduin - 46
  • Gypsy - 65
  • Weez - 66
  • AJ - 93


Argus has to take a point sometime, and now is as good a time as any. He takes Row 2.

Alduin lands on the new Row 2, so it really didn't matter which 1-point row Argus picked.

Gypsy and Weez fill up Row 3 and AJ does the same on Row 4.

Order of Play:

  • AJ - 17
  • Weez - 47

Argus, Gypsy, and AJ take advantage of the space on Row 1, leaving just one spot.

Weez and Alduin head for Row 2, also leaving just one spot.

  • Weez - 61
  • Alduin - 102

Argus takes a risk on Row 1, succeeding in snagging the last spot.

AJ also takes a risk, and collects 5 points. Couldda been worse. Gypy and Weez follow behind.

Alduin also takes 5 unsurprising points.

Order of Play:

  • AJ - 27
  • Argus - 31
  • Gypsy - 34


The 62 is the only guaranteed safe card, the only option on Row 1. Row 2 is completely unplayable. And anything over 66 is likely to take those points.

Not surprisingly, everybody ducks under Row 1, with Alduin leading the charge to take that 1 point he left for himself on Row 4. Everyone else follows along.

There are now no safe plays...

Nobody wants to play on Row 4. I wonder why. wink

Gypsy leads the charge for the three players going under Row 1, taking 4 points for Row 3 while Alduin and AJ follow along.

Argus and Weez play high enough above the old Row 1 to hope to avoid the 5 points, but Argus claims them.

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 28
  • Gypsy - 35
  • AJ - 38
  • Alduin - 39
  • Argus - 42


Weez opts for a 4-point bust rather than taking her chances.

Everyone else takes their chances on Row 1, where the goal is to not be third. Unfortunately for Alduin, AJ edges him out by a pip and he collects 9 points while Argus slides in last.
