Order of Play:

The opportunity to ditch a low card for free attracts AJ, Gypsy, and Argus.

Weez, still stung by some high-card pain from last round, decides to unload high earlier this game.

Like birds migrating south for the winter, there's a rush to the nest Weez staked out last turn. Argus meanders one row south while Gypsy goes two rows. AJ and Weez find plenty of space on the bottom row.

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 12
  • Gypsy - 49
  • Argus - 54
  • AJ - 103

As the spaces on the board dwindle, players start to take risks.

Weez heads for Row 1, hoping the 11 doesn't undercut her, successfully nabbing the last spot.

Gypsy and Argus take two of the three spots on Row 2 with the main risk being the low-point bust target

And AJ finds no competition on Row 4.

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 11
  • Argus - 72
  • Weez - 77
  • Gypsy - 85

AJ decides a sure 5 points is his best option, busting Row 2 and showing Weez that her previous turn could have been worse.

And this turn could have been worse for Weez too, playing second on Row 2 with a space. Until AJ takes it, leaving Argus as first in line on Row 1, collecting 8 points while Weez and Gypsy breathe a sigh of relief.

Order of Play:

  • Weez - 26

AJ, Argus, and Weez all queue up for the wide open space on Row 1.

Gypsy sneaks onto Row 2 whilst no one is looking.

A point-free turn, but the next turn is unlikely to be as friendly.

Order of Play:

Gypsy is lucky enough to have a guaranteed safe play on Row 1. That's bad news for Weez who was likely hoping to be third or fourth on that row, not second and collects 9 points. AJ scoots in behind Weez for free.

Argus snags the last spot on Row 2.

Gypsy decides the availability of a 2-point bust is a good time to unload her 9. AJ also dumps a middling card that could be problematic later, while Weez and Argus keep the walkdown going.

Weez finds herself first in line again, with two 6-ponit rows to choose from. Which one doesn't matter, so I'll flip a coin and choose row 3 for her.

Everyone else follows behind.

And Weez is once again first, at least this time only taking 4 points while everyone follows merrily behind to finish out the round, and the game.

Final points for this round:

Gypsy 2
AJ 5
Argus 8
Weez 24

Final scores for this game:

Gypsy 21
AJ 33
Argus 43
Weez 87

Congrats Gypsy!
