Play in order of lowest card first:

Weez 8
Argus 62
Exeter 66*5
Aqua 74
AJ 93

Weez has a plan and with an 8 card what other plan could you have? Row 1

Seems like Argus might have one too, playing on row 2 and Exeter & Aqua think it is a good enough idea to join in on it!

AJ high tails it to row 3.

Argus however is very relieved!

Weez follows on at a bit more of a distance.

And Exeter finds a sweet spot for his 86 filling row 2!

I may get another turn in before I go away and I may be able to do one or two whilst I am away, but no promises!

Weez 71
Aqua 82
Argus 85*2

Everyone manages to find a card between 69 and 86, everyone, that is, apart from AJ. He busts row 3 for 6 points, could have been worse!

However this means that the remaining players now have to fit into 2 spaces.. good game, good game!

Exeter & Weez have played the lowest of the group of 4 and take those spaces. Next, and right in the firing line is Aqua who busts for 11 points! Ouch

Argus breathes a sigh of relief as he follows Aqua.

Argus, AJ, Aqua and Exeter all draw closer joining Weez on row 1!

Exeter plays the lowest card this round and opts for the lowest bust total, that of 3 points on row 2!

And everyone else jumps onto the same row! With no spaces left, could be a very interesting end game!

Play in order of lowest card first:

Weez 20*3
AJ 36
Aqua 46
Argus 55*7
Exeter 73

Someone has to play the lowest card when there are no spaces left! Weez raises her hand and volunteers to bust row 2 for 5 points.

Big of her I think we'd all agree. AJ & Aqua certainly do!

However that leaves Argus to land at the end of the new row 2, forcing another bust of 5, so he is not enamoured with her choice.

Though Exeter is happy with Argus!

Play in order of lowest card first:

Weez 23
AJ 26
Exeter 40*3
Argus 63
Aqua 92

Weez must have liked going first as she is at it again, taking another 5 points with row 1.

Everyone follow on.. well almost!

Unfortunately Aqua has a high card left. High enough to force him to bust row 3 for 11 points! Ouch!

And that's for the second time this round!

RESULTS END OF ROUND 4

Argus = 23 points

(6 points this round)
AJ = 42 points (6 points this round)
Weez = 46 points (17 points this round)
Exeter = 60 points

(3 points this round)
Aqua = 61 points

(29 points this round)

Argus retains and expands his lead. Good job!
