Lots of choice of where to place cards.

AJ and Weez team up to try to fill row 1 which almost succeeds!

Whilst Aqua and Argus pursue a joint strategy on different row to ratchet up the points, Aqua on row 2 again and Argus on row 4!

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 66*5
Argus 90*3
Weez 93
Aqua 101

Thought we might catch someone out on this board

and I guess AJ thought that too playing his 66*5 on row 1, taking the last slot at ratcheting up the points to match row 2.

However luckily.. or cleverly.. everyone else plays on row 4 to a similar outcome!

Methinks row 3 will be popular next round.

He he.. nice graphic!

 -----------------------------------

Play in order of lowest card first:

Weez 17
AJ 63
Argus 92
Aqua 97

Weez considers her options and decides that perhaps a tactical bust is in her best interests. Sge wipes the sweat from her brow and plays her 17 card to bust row 3!

AJ has a very safe play now for the new row 1 and plays it, probably ensuring another low card bust of the row.

Argus and Aqua have less safe options now, both aiming for those last two spaces on the new row 3.. and the operative word is 'two' as they both fit!

Or maybe they have been conspiring with AJ?
