Order of Play:
  • Alduin - 3
  • Weez - 5
  • Gypsy - 7
  • AJ - 37
  • Argus - 89


The single digit row attracts three more single digit plays with Alduin, Weez, and Gypsy dumping their low cards.

AJ increments Row 2 and Argus heads for Row 4.

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • Weez - 38
  • Argus - 43
  • Alduin - 67
  • AJ - 94
  • Gypsy - 96


Since Row 1 is nearly full, everyone looks elsewhere.

Weez and Argus take two of the three spots on Row 2, while Alduin increments Row 3, and AJ and Gypsy take two spots on Row 4.

No points taken in the first two turns, but that is likely to change... unless everyone playes it just right.

Order of Play:

  • Weez - 69

Argus nabs the last spot on Row 1, while Gypsy does the same on Row 2 and Alduin does for Row 4.

Weez and AJ take two of the three spots on Row 3.

Three turns, zero points. But that ends now. smile

Order of Play:
  • Alduin - 74
  • AJ - 80
  • Argus - 82
  • Gypsy - 90
  • Weez - 97


There's one free spot on the board, and everyone runs to it.

Alduin has the golden ticket and snags the spot, leaving AJ in possession of 9 points as he restarts Row 3 and everyone else piles on behind.

There's still a free spot on the board but it's now unplayable...

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 19
  • Gypsy - 85
  • AJ - 87
  • Weez - 92
  • Alduin - 93


Argus decides a somewhat inevitable 6 points could be tactically useful and busts Row 1.

Everyone else heads for Row 2 with his 5-point bounty: Gypsy is unlucky enough to grab those points. Could be worse.

This next turn will be interesting smile

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 15
  • AJ - 20
  • Alduin - 21
  • Argus - 22
  • Weez - 72


Row 1 looks promising, either to land on or to bust. Gypsy snags the point, which puts AJ, Alduin and Argus's guaranteed safe plays on a different card but giving the same end effect.

Weez doesn't have a guaranteed safe play, but thanks to Gypsy's bust takes the last spot on the row.

Order of Play:

  • Alduin - 104


Of the four players trying to play under Row 1, Weez is the lowest taking the 5-point Row 2. Gypsy, Argus, and AJ follow on.

Alduin takes the 5-point Row 4, leaving a lovely 1 point row for the next bust.

Everybody takes the opportunity for a 1-point bust but Alduin is the most eager.
