Play in order of lowest card first:

Aqua 25*2
Weez 31
AJ 36
Argus 45*2

Aqua's plan to follow on his first 2 cards were scuppered by AJ

so instead he busts row 3 for 3 points.

In theory all the remaining cards are aiming for the new row 2 but with only two spaces available...? Argus busts the row for 9 points!

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 3
Weez 7
Argus 66*5
Aqua 80*3

A 1 point row! Didn't think it would last long!

Both AJ & Weez went after it but AJ got there first!

Argus had intended to play on that row but with it having disappeared, he ends up on the old row 1 nalong with Aqua, both significantly adding points!

Play in order of lowest card first:

Argus 8
AJ 11*5
Weez 33*5
Aqua 76

Argus has the perfect play for row 1 and AJ almost as good!

Weez was worried she would end up busting but the two guys left a space for her. Nice!

But Aqua now takes the hit, massively increased by AJ & Weez

to the tune of 13 points!

Next choices via PM

You'd think with the 22*5, 44*5, and 66*5 out, it wasn't going to be that ugly.

Agreed.. but this game always surprises.. good and bad!
