Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 6
Weez 14
Aqua 74
Argus 77*5

AJ set himself up nicely last round and happily ditches his 6. Weez has a similar idea and follows on with her 14

Aqua also saunters along at quite a distance.

Argus also joins the row but takes the last spot and more than doubles the points!

Play in order of lowest card first:

Aqua 16
Weez 18
Argus 24
AJ 70*3

All four players set off for a busting expedition knowing there is at most a 2 point penalty for getting to the top first! Aqua gets that honour, the others struggling on behind. AJ needs an oxygen mask to get there!

Aqua 54
Argus 63
Weez 75*2

I think AJ was hoping that someone would undercut him but he is left holding the baby! Row 4 and its 4 points looks favourite!

Aqua and Argus follow on.

Weez plays a sneaky one, taking the last spot on the new row 2!

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 38
Argus 42
Aqua 55*7
Weez 85*2

Well there are in theory three folks queuing up to select a row to bust. AJ wins the privilege and strangely does not opt for row 1!

Row 2 offers a marginally better option taking 8 points

Weez now reaches the option she has been trying to avoid, busting row 3 for 9 points!

RESULTS END OF ROUND 3

Argus = 10 points

(0 points this round)
Aqua = 20 points

(6 points this round)
AJ = 52 points

(15 points this round)
Weez = 53 points

(24 points this round)
