Order of Play:
  • Argus - 3
  • Gypsy - 10
  • 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:
  • AJ - 4
  • 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.

  • Weez - 35
  • Alduin - 59
  • AJ - 104


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.

Order of Play:

  • Alduin - 50
  • Gypsy - 53
  • Weez - 88


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.
