Everyone has the same idea to dump low cards on Row 1, filling it up!

After two rounds of generally safe play, this turn presented a tactical choice!

Gypsy took a risk on Row 2, probably assuming at least two players would be below her. In fact, she ends up filling the row!

AJ, Weez, and Argus fill up Row 3 instead!

Order of Play:

  • Gypsy - 87
  • Argus - 99


With a full board and no safe plays, the choice was an intentional bust high, which Argus elected, or taking your chances not being the lowest.

AJ loses out to Weez by a single pip, taking 10 points for Row 1. Gypsy follows behind them at an appropriate social distance.

Argus takes the 6 points he expected for Row 3.

Argus and Gypsy both decide to risk the 1-point bust, with Argus actually meaning it while Gypsy appeared happy to let someone else go first.

Weez and AJ land on the new row 4.

Gypsy steps up to bust, and takes Row 1 for 3 points. Everyone else follows behind and makes Row 1 a rather dangerous threat to anyone with cards over 68.

As options dwindle, players turn to tactics. Argus goes lower than the crowd avoiding a bust, perhaps in a tactical move? Of the two 5-point rows, he chooses to bust Row 3.

Everyone else follows behind.

AJ and Gypsy play low, with AJ narrowly winning Row 1's 4 points. Argus also lands on Row 1, a different one than he played on.

Weez sneaks onto Row 2 while nobody is looking.
