Alduin gambles that nobody will play the 11 under him and successfully snags the last spot on Row 2.

Gypsy gambles that more than one player will play under her on Row 2 and is not successful at avoiding the 7 points.

Weez, Argus, and AJ each increment Row 3, filling it.

Order of Play:

  • Alduin - 76
  • Gypsy - 78
  • Argus - 87


Weez steps up as the only player below Row 1 with a choice of a row to bust. She takes Row 2's 7 points.

That's bad news for AJ, who falls onto the former Row 1 for 10 points, not unexpected.

Alduin decides with a new Row 1 and new Row 2, why not make a new Row 3? He busts for 9 points.

Gypsy and Argus tip their hats to Alduin as they follow behind.

Gypsy is the only player choosing to bust, swiping Row 2 for 2 points.

That leaves AJ, Weez, and Argus on the new Row 2 and Alduin on Row 3.
