Carnage!

AJ is the first to venture into battle taking row 4's 5 points. Might be the lesser of evils!

Argus follows, restoring the row's original point count.

This leaves Weez having to bust the original row 1 for 7 points!

Though the move could be tactical, forcing Aqua to bust the even bigger row 3. 9 points!

All I can say is well dodged Argus and plenty of space now!
