Aqua 11*5
Argus 13
Weez 14
AJ 82

Aqua had planned to follow his 9 with his 11 but Weez scuppered his plans by playing her 12 last round. But it takes more than that to daunt or valiant hero!

He plays it anyway to take the one point second row!

Weez & Argus play where they expected, just that it is row 2 now. They fill the row!

AJ plays high onto row 3.

Play in order of lowest card first:

Argus 3
AJ 6
Weez 87
Aqua 94

Two players think that smashing row 3 for just 3 points offers them the best deal! Argus gets there first to claim the bargain but AJ doesn't seem to be too disappointed.

Now Weez and Aqua had planned to play on row 3. Ooops! Not there any more

So Weez now has to face a bust of row 2 (thanks Argus) but it is only 5 points. Aqua breathes more easily and follows on.

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 15*2
Aqua 19
Argus 36
Weez 67

Understandably everyone plays below 89

So as you can see avoiding third place is the trick!

AJ and Aqua play low for this reason ad are safe. Argus is third

but it is only 6 points for the bust. And thanks to Argus, Weez gets a freebie!

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 51
Weez 55*7
Argus 100*3
Aqua 102

AJ is busting again but this time there is a 1 point bust available. He is all over it!

Weez settles happily on the new row 2.

Now we have an interesting situation. Argus had been holding off the inevitable up to last round, having to land a 10 point bust as he ran out of time. Aqua though was also holding back his 102 to avoid the same fate, but by Argus playing his 103 first, his 100*3 not only takes the last spot on row 4 but also adds 3 points giving Aqua a 12 point bust!
