Play in order of lowest card first:

Argus 3
AJ 44*5
Weez 91
Aqua 97

Argus decides that row 4 has been neglected long enough and busts it for 3 points with his 3!

AJ sees space on row 2 that he reckons he can fit into.. and does!

Now that row 4 has disappeared (courtesy of Argus) Weez and Aqua are left adrift without a paddle.

Weez is first to hit the rapids taking the 6 points, could be worse, with Aqua safely in her wake.

AJ 48
Argus 49
Weez 88*5
Aqua 100*3

AJ & Argus have the same idea, unfortunately for Argus as there is only room for one on line 3. Argus busts for 10 points!

This is good news though for Weez, trailing the pair at a safe distance!

Aqua plays on row 4 which he set up last round!

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 71
Weez 81
Aqua 82
Argus 89

So everyone had the same idea with that 10 point line looming large!

Play high, don't be first! But someone has to be and commiserations go to AJ whose 71 was the lowest card in play.

Weez and Aqua rush on after him, relieved to have escaped the trap!

Argus however had a much better plan - playing on row 3 with his 89!

At least the monster row has gone now

Argus 50*3
Aqua 54
Weez 56

Everyone goes for a bust, some with more serious intentions than others, or maybe it is a case of hoping others go first!

Well Argus steps up (or is pushed) and takes the 3 points for row 2.

Everyone else follows on.

Weez 24
AJ 62
Argus 80*3

Some tricky decisions to be made on this board. Three players aim for row 1, two of them with the intention of busting the row. The first to the plate is Aqua and he takes out row 4 for 5 points!

Weez breathes a sigh of relief as she, then AJ follow on.

Argus is now left with having to bust row 2 for 9 points, ouch

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 60*3
Argus 70*3
Weez 73
Aqua 83

Quite a close grouping for a last turn!

AJ goes for a bust, an obvious option being row 3 for 3 points!

Argus is up now and takes the last spot on row 2. This is not good for Weez who now has to bust the row for 9 points!

This allow Aqua to follow along safely!

And the game is over.. just!

Aqua wins the game with some good tactical play and Weez manages to hang onto second place!

RESULTS END OF GAME

Aqua = 30 points

(6 points this round)
Weez = 42 points

(15 points this round)
AJ = 58 points (13 points this round)
Argus = 66 points

(25 points this round)
