After last round, AJ has a change of strategy and plays low, very low! He busts the first row for just 1 point. Weez follows him there.

Argus plays on row 2, Aqua on row 3 and Exeter on row 4! Nice spread!

Argus 87
Exeter 89
Weez 100*3

AJ & Aqua both have the same idea and head for row 1 where there is plenty of room for both!

Likewise Argus and Exeter head for row 3 which is just as obliging!

And independent Weez plonks herself happily on row 4!

Play in order of lowest card first:

Exeter 5*2
AJ 18
Argus 61
Aqua 66*5
Weez 101

Exeter decides that a bust is his least painful way forward. He plays his 5 to bust row 3 for 4 points!

Next to go is AJ who fills up the row as expected except that it is now row 2!

Argus and Aqua join forces to assault the new row three finding it mostly deserted.

And Weez continues her independent path onto row 4.

In theory everyone could avoid a bust next round!

Play in order of lowest card first:

Aqua 10*3
Weez 14
Exeter 16
AJ 15*2
Argus 69

There is room for just 4 players on row 1! I don't know if they are just but Aqua, Weez Exeter and AJ all fit comfortably!

Fortunately for everyone but mostly himself, Argus squeezes into the nook and cranny remaining on row 3!

All damage avoided. Good job!

Aqua 64
Exeter 70*3

Well someone had to bust! And Argus volunteers. His 24 takes out row 2 for 9 points!

Weez, nervous at the start, strides out with confidence now, following Argus with AJ & Aqua backing her up!

Exeter, for some reason, plays his 70 which was guaranteed to bust the high point row for 13 points

Play in order of lowest card first:

Weez 72
Argus 73
AJ 79

Strangely you all played exactly as I predicted and that rarely happens!

Aqua holds his hand up to go first, though he really would have preferred not too! He busts row 1 for 9 points, ouch!

Unsportingly, everyone else plays above 70 and below 101 cooperatively filling row 3 to the tune of 7 points.

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 4
Aqua 20*3
Exeter 21
Argus 25*2
Weez 52

Everyone plays under the 60 but some are more prepared to bust the row than others. AJ however is determined and plays his 4 which earns him 3 points. And everyone piles on afterwards!

This game is getting very tricky!

Play in order of lowest card first:

Aqua 23
Argus 28
Weez 38
AJ 42
Exeter 96

Aqua thinks he may have to bust this round.. and he is correct! He chooses the 4 point row two. Almost everyone piles on after him.

Except for Exeter who is obviously hoping for a companion on row 3, someone who might play lower than him?

But Aqua is Mr Popular and Exeter-no-mates busts the row for 7 points!

Play in order of lowest card first:

Aqua 27
Argus 32
Exeter 35*2
AJ 39
Weez 92

Aqua goes first as he expected to and busts row 3 for 1 point.

And it seems like most people had the same idea as Argus, Exeter & AJ follow him onto the new row 1.

Weez however decides a riskier move, hoping that someone else will play under her. Alas like the last round's lesson, she is out on her own and forced to bust the 8 point row

Play in order of lowest card first:

Exeter 22*5
Aqua 29
Weez 53
Argus 85*2
AJ 88*5

Exeter goes first this time, playing his 22*5 to bust a convenient 1 point row! Thanks Weez!

And he has attracted a friend as Aqua follows along with him.

Weez is next to go and she is kicking herself as the spot on the new row 3 was the same one that was available to her last round and others had high cards left that were lower than the one she played last round!

But no points this round at least.

AJ & Argus now have to decide who goes first to bust the row that Weez just filled. AJ gentlemanly steps to one side and lets Argus take the 5 point plunge!

RESULTS END OF ROUND 2

Argus = 17 points

(14 points this round)
Weez = 17 points

(8 points this round)
Aqua = 28 points (14 points this round)
AJ = 30 points (4 points this round)
Exeter = 36 points

(25 points this round)

And jointly in the lead are Argus & Weez!
