Well this is interesting and I cannot remember how far we would have to go back to find a time when EVERYONE plays on row 4. Just the scenario that Aqua didn't want to see. He takes 8 points. Not the best start!

AJ 7
Exeter 37

Aqua 89

With all that space - waves an expansive hand over the play area - no surprising no-one goes for a bust!

AJ plays on row 1, Exeter on row 2, Weez & Aqua on row 3 and Argus on row 4!

And still plenty of space!

Good spread guys! You sure you are not colluding?

Aqua goes first, landing happily on row 1 whilst Weez & AJ skip together to take position on row 2.

And Argus and Exeter work together to fill row 3!

I predict a bust next round!

Play in order of lowest card first:

Aqua 3
Exeter 20*3
Argus 29
AJ 41
Weez 85*2

And here is the bust! Row 4 by Aqua.

He takes 2 points.

And then there is the filling of rows. Exeter & Argus get together to fill the new row 2 whilst AJ manages to fill the new row 3 all by himself.

This is not good news for Weez though as she was hoping someone else would play under her as she busts that row 3 for 7 points!

Plenty of spaces, if you have the right cards

Play in order of lowest card first:

Exeter 5*2
Argus 15*2
AJ 19
Weez 76
Aqua 87

That empty first row beckoned hard and enticed 3 players in.

Exeter, Argus and AJ land happily!

Again Weez ends up in a spot of bother, finding her other players not very obliging, and despite the gap she left for someone else to play in, there were no takers! 7 points, could be worse I suppose.

Aqua is much happier with his choice, landing gently on row 3.

Aqua 23
AJ 70*3
Weez 79
Argus 80*3
Exeter 83

Aqua take a leap of faith and lands where he had hoped on the last remaining space on row 1.

This time it is AJ to be disappointed that more folk did not play under him as he busts the row, forced to swallow 7 poison pills.

Everyone else heads happily for the wide of vistas of row 2!

AJ decides this is a good time for a bust. He takes row 3 for 3 points!

Argus, Aqua and Weez join forces on row 2, not filling it exactly but closing it off effectively!

And Exeter fills up row 3, ensuring that everyone focuses on row 1 next round!

AJ 64

Exeter decides that busting row 1 is his best option!

He takes 2 points. And everyone else follows on.

Maybe taking a low point bust this round was good tactics as at least one person has to bust this round!

AJ is first and has to choose a row. He takes the obvious choice of row 4, only 5 points this time.

Could definitely have been worse! Weez and Aqua happily follow on.

Exeter & Argus both have the same idea. Both have big cards and decide to take the hit now but Exeter in doing so provides an out for Argus who follows on with a sigh of relief.

Exeter takes 7 points.

And everyone else joins the conga line onto row 1 to celebrate the end of the first round!

RESULTS END OF ROUND 1

Argus = 0 points

Exeter = 9 points
Aqua = 10 points
Weez = 14 points
AJ = 18 points
