Play in order of lowest card first:

Argus 27
AJ 36
Weez 42
Aqua 82

There are not 4 available spaces, let alone safe ones, so the players put their thinking caps on.

Argus's cap told him that busting a row was the best option and there is a one point row available. He agrees and busts row 4!

Other caps recommend squeezing into the last spot on the old row 2. AJ's cap survives as he lands in it, whereas Weez's cap is thrown to the back of the cupboard as she takes 6 points.

Should have ignored the cap and gone with her own instincts!

Aqua follows on!

More spaces now!
