Order of Play:

  • AJ - 12
  • Alduin - 94
  • Weez - 100


Argus leads off the hand claiming a point for Row 2.

Gypsy and AJ follow behind on what's now Row 2, joined by Alduin who thought he would play much earlier on the old Row 2.

Weez wanders onto Row 4.

Order of Play:

  • Gypsy - 15
  • Argus - 20
  • Weez - 62
  • Alduin - 102


AJ plays confidently on Row 1, whilst Gypsy, Argus, and Weez follow along with decreasing degrees of confidence. All ends well, however, as Alduin bucks the trend and heads for Row 4.

Everyone lines up in the same order, except AJ jumps from first to last.

Gypsy claims the two-point Row 3 while Argus, Weez, and Alduin follow along.

AJ caps off Row 4 leaving an unusable empty spot.

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 48
  • AJ - 49
  • Gypsy - 55
  • Argus - 58
  • Alduin - 60


The only safe play on the board is 60.

But before Alduin can take the fifth spot on Row 1, he has to wait for all the other players, who were willing to bust, to line up and give him the last square as he originally intended.

Weez gets the 5 points.

Four out of five players surveyed go for the bust, with Argus taking Row 4's 6 points.

Weez takes the former Row 2's 8 points, leaving a lovely 13-point prize for anyone with cards between 60 and 88.

Order of Play:

  • Weez - 43
  • Gypsy - 89


Four players decide a bust is the best option, with Alduin winning the race to take the lowest-point row, which happens to be Row 3.

This is bad news for Gypsy, who thought she had a shot at playing on Row 3. Which she still does, but it's the new Row 3, worth 13 points.

Ouch.

Order of Play:

  • Weez - 13
  • AJ - 25
  • Gypsy - 31
  • Argus - 85


Once again, four players decide the best option is to bust the low point row, still Row 3, and Alduin claims the point.

Argus has better luck than Gypsy as the lone player going high, closing out the new Row 3.

Order of Play:
  • Alduin - 65
  • Argus - 67
  • AJ - 71
  • Gypsy - 79
  • Weez - 83


Most cards still in play are between 43 and 85, where the name of the game is to either be first or at least third.

Alduin manages to snag that last free spot just before Argus, who busts for 6 points. He still has a 9 point lead over Weez but with this board and two turns to go, anything can happen.

AJ, Gypsy, and Weez follow along.
