Gypsy spies a chance to unload a low card on Row 2 while the rest of the crowd closes out Row 4.

Weez dumps her 4, claiming the 1-point Row 3 just before Argus lands on it. That leaves everyone landing on the old Row 2 instead, where there's just enough room... stranding anyone with a card over 90.

Three out of four players surveyed decided a single-digit card was optimal. Argus leads the way with a 1-point bust of Row 2 while Weez levereges her play last turn to offload another low card without taking points, joined by AJ. Gypsy, meanwhile, is thankful she played 90-89 and not 89-90, closing off the new Row 2 to any new cards next turn.

The players line up in mostly the same order, except that AJ pushes ahead of Argus. None of the order really matters as everyone fills up Row 1.

It's Gypsy's turn to clear off a row, and she swipes Row 2's 5 points. Argus and AJ follow along.

Weez makes a daring play on the old Row 1, stealing the last spot!

Weez sneaks onto Row 2 while nobody's looking.

AJ and Gypsy race for the chance to take Row 1's 3 points. AJ wins by a pip.

Weez spies a free spot on Row 2 and claims it!

Argus eyes his cards and decides that the 11 points on Row 4, while painful now, may be his best choice.

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 14
  • Weez - 38
  • AJ - 47
  • Argus - 94

Having missed out on the chance to be the lowest card, Gypsy is sure to take the 1 point for Row 4.

Weez and AJ land happily on the former Row 1.

Argus realizes nobody else is going to save him as he takes the 12 points for the former Row 3.

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) that pushes Argus over the 66-point threshold to end the game, which is great news for AJ, who wins the round! Gypsy was almost there!

Points this hand:

Gypsy 1
AJ 3
Weez 12
Argus 30

Final scores for the game:
AJ 16
Gypsy 20
Weez 63
Argus 68

Four points between us, and five at the other end. Curiously close.
