Order of Play:

  • Weez - 10
  • Argus - 16
  • Alduin - 63
  • AJ - 81


Gypsy jumps in front of Weez for the chance to take Row 4's 1 point.

Argus plays a known-safe 16 on the new Row 2.

Alduin plays on the almost-certainly-safe new Row 3, followed by AJ with a smidge more risk.

Order of Play:

  • Gypsy - 83
  • Argus - 86
  • AJ - 87


Alduin has a guaranteed safe play on Row 1 and takes it.

Weez takes a small risk on Row 2 and is rewarded.

The other three players fight for the one slot on Row 3. Gypsy sneaks in first, leaving Argus to pick up 7 points while AJ, by a single pip, escapes the damage.

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • Argus - 1
  • Alduin - 4
  • AJ - 5
  • Gypsy - 7
  • Weez - 92


Although 6 points isn't horrible, four players decide 2 points are preferable. Argus knows he's going to take them while Alduin, AJ, and Gypsy enjoy a free dump of a single digit card.

Weez tries to sneak onto Row 3 while nobody is looking, but it's not there when she arrives, and she gets that 6 points everyone else was avoiding.

Nice 1-point row for the busting if you have a low card lol

Order of Play:

  • Weez - 77

AJ heads low on Row 2.

Alduin is noncommittal on high or low, which works out in his favor as he takes the last spot.

Weez and Gypsy head higher, but Weez isn't high enough to avoid the 9 points. sad Gypsy breathes a sigh of relief.

Argus is untroubled by the drama and plays on Row 3.

For Row 1, it's go low or go high to avoid the points.

AJ goes low, filling the row. Gypsy and Weez go high enough to avoid the bust. Argus picks the middle and takes 6 points.

Alduin wanders on to Row 2 casually.

Gypsy claims the 2 points for Row 3 and everyone but AJ follows on.

AJ has a guaranteed safe play on the former Row 1.

Order of Play:

  • AJ - 52

Gypsy hopes someone else will bust before her, but is under Alduin by a single pip. She takes Row 2 for 6 points.

There's one spot available on the new Row 2 and AJ keeps up his streak of consecutive guaranteed-safe plays, much to Weez's chagrin. Argus follows behind.

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 35
  • Weez - 56
  • Argus - 59
  • Alduin - 69
  • AJ - 70


Gypsy is first to the post and swipes Row 2 for 2 points, claiming a row for herself.

Everyone else crowds onto the remaining 3 spots on the new Row 2, where there's not quite enough room for four. Alduin elbows out AJ for the last spot, leaving AJ with 5 points and a row to himself.
