Gypsy jumps at the chance to safely play her 19.

Argus also has a guaranteed safe play on Row 2 as does Weez on Row 4.

AJ takes a risk to unload a high card, and is successful, closing off Row 4.

Gypsy has to take a point sometime and decides now is as good a time as any, busting Row 1. Argus, Weez, and AJ play safely on Row 1 just where they'd expected.

There are two spots on Row 3, and all four players head there meaning being third is undesirable.

Weez and AJ slip to the head of the line leaving Gypsy arriving in that third spot to collect 7 points. Argus finishes up.

Once again, all four players head for Row 3. Once again, there isn't room for everyone. In this case, there are three spots and the last to arrive gets the points.

And once again, Gypsy is the unlucky collector of 7 points.

Argus decides a sure 3 points is better than whatever shenanigans are happening on the higher rows and busts Row 3.

That leaves a new row 3 with 7 points ripe for the taking. This time AJ spares Gypsy the trouble of taking the points, much to her relief. Weez saunters in behind all the drama.

There's room for one on Row 2, and everyone heads there. AJ, Weez, and Argus all have consecutive cards but Weez is one pip away from safety in either direction, landing second and taking her turn getting "Collect 7 points, do not pass Go, do not collect $200".

Argus is unchallenged on Row 2.

Gypsy has the low card going into the final turn and has her choice of 7-point rows to bust, electing Row 2.

AJ follows behind Gypsy, while Argus fills up the former Row 1.

And Weez could have gotten lucky if Gypsy had chosen row 4, but instead collects her own 7 points.
