Play in order of lowest card first:

Argus 31
Weez 58
AJ 69
Aqua 70*3

Options aren't great. Most players believe that a bust is in order but seem reluctant to be the one to actually make it, playing high but under 73. Not so Argus who takes one of the lowest options of row 4 and the 5 points that go with it!

Everyone else piles on behind him

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 41
Weez 51
Aqua 53
Argus 94

And eventually at the end of the game we are all forced to choose the last card which some might have wanted to avoid!

AJ's first pick - choose a row to bust. Fortunately he has a 3 point row courtesy of Argus's last turn!

Fortunately both Weez & Aqua can again follow on!

Unfortunately Argus has that dreaded last card he has been avoiding so far and now has to drop in onto row 3 to bust it for 7 points!

RESULTS END OF ROUND 1

Aqua = 0 points

AJ = 10 points
Weez = 10 points
Argus = 23 points

I will deal again after the festive season
