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. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 13,683 Likes: 31 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 13,683 Likes: 31 |

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. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 13,683 Likes: 31 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 13,683 Likes: 31 |

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. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 13,683 Likes: 31 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 13,683 Likes: 31 |

- 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. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 13,683 Likes: 31 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 13,683 Likes: 31 |

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. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 13,683 Likes: 31 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 13,683 Likes: 31 |

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.

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. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 13,683 Likes: 31 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 13,683 Likes: 31 |

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. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 13,683 Likes: 31 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 13,683 Likes: 31 |

As we enter the final stretch, Argus has a 9-point lead over Weez. Weez leads Alduin by 2 points for second place. And nobody is eliminated yet. But that will soon change. Order of Play:- Alduin - 17
- Weez - 66
- AJ - 69
- Gypsy - 75
- Argus - 81
Alduin leads off with an intentional bust, taking Row 4's 4 points. He couldn't afford even 1 point without ending the game, but this sets up the finality of what's to come. The new Row 2 is now the majority target, with 5 points and one free spot. Weez claims that free spot, doubling the points in the process, catching AJ in her trap, widening her second-place lead. Gypsy and Argus slip in behind. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 13,683 Likes: 31 Maris Imperium Moderator | | OP Maris Imperium Moderator Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 13,683 Likes: 31 |

Weez is first up for the final round, with a sweet 1-point row available for the taking. Alduin, Gypsy, and Argus follow along. AJ's day goes from bad to worse as he plays the inevitable 11-point-scoring 86. Scores this hand: Alduin 10 Argus 13 Weez 14 Gypsy 15 AJ 21 Final scores for the game: Argus 37 Weez 47 Gypsy 61 AJ 69 Alduin 69 Congratulations, Argus! | | |
