The first tactical choices are made. AJ takes an opportunity to dump a low card on Row 1 at no cost, while Weez, Argus, and Gypsy offload high cards onto Row 4.

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 2
  • Gypsy - 12
  • Weez - 71
  • AJ - 89

Argus decides to take a 1-point bust while it's still available, swiping row 2.

While Gypsy knew she'd play on the old Row 1, Argus's move opens it up to everyone else. But Weez and AJ ignore those spots and head for Row 3 instead.

Gypsy joins in the 1-point bust club, lowering Row 1 by a pip, while AJ and Argus land about where they expected.

Weez crosses her fingers and manages to close off Row 4 while nobody's looking.

With six spots left, there's room for everyone as long as no more than two choose the same row.

Weez and Gypsy choose Row 2 while AJ and Argus choose Row 3.

Two strategies present for Row 1. Play low hoping to be first or second, or play high hoping to be last.

AJ and Argus succeed at the first strategy, while Gypsy succeeds at the last one.

Weez is stuck in the middle with 5 points.

Everyone heads for Row 1.

Gypsy leads the charge with the low cards, taking two points. Weez and AJ follow behind. Argus would have landed above the 81 but since it's gone he just joins the rest of the crowd on the new Row 1.
