Order of Play:

Gypsy - 30
AJ - 33
Argus - 36
Weez - 37

With only 3 playable cards between high and low cards on the board, you'd expect a lot of people going above or below, but everyone teams up to actually spread out!

Gypsy finds her way onto Row 1, while AJ claims the only possible spot on Row 2. While Row 3 is impossible to play on (except to bust it) Argus and Weez squeeze onto Row 4 in the next two spots.

Anyone got the 31?

 -----------------------------------

Order of Play:

Argus - 2
AJ - 3
Weez - 38
Gypsy - 92

Row 3 was still only worth a point and would have remained so another round, but both Argus and AJ spring for the chance to unload single digit cards a little to no cost. Argus claims a point and AJ claims the second spot on the new Row 1.

Weez continues incrementing Row 4, and Gypsy snags the last space in that row.

Order of Play:

Weez - 5
Argus - 8
AJ - 12
Gypsy - 89

Weez, Argus, and AJ all think they are low enough to survive on Row 1, and they do!

Gypsy decides unloading a high card is a better idea!

AJ, Gypsy, and Argus fill up Row 2 while Weez saunters onto Row 3.

 -----------------------------------

Order of Play:

Gypsy - 18
Weez - 26
AJ - 40
Argus - 103

Everyone thinks 6 sure points are better than risking 11, and avoids Row 2.

That means Gypsy takes Row 1's 6 points while Weez and AJ enjoy a new row to land on.

Argus picks off the 6 points on Row 4.

 -----------------------------------

Order of Play:

Weez - 10
Argus - 14
Gypsy - 19
AJ - 99

Playing above 47 is risky, so Weez, Argus, and Gypsy take the low road. Weez wins the point for Row 4.

AJ was holding his breath and crossing his fingers playing on the old Row 3, but is uncontested and takes the last spot on that row.

 -----------------------------------

Order of Play:

Gypsy - 21
Argus - 28
AJ - 77
Weez - 93

Gypsy and Argus sneak on to Row 1, taking the last two spots!

That leaves AJ and Weez stuck on Row 3. Weez is flying high while AJ takes 11 points with his 77. Double trouble!

 -----------------------------------

Order of Play:

AJ - 49
Argus - 70
Weez - 80
Gypsy - 82

Row 2 is the place to be this turn, and all players head there, trying not to be third.

AJ slips in early, and Argus lucks into the last spot behind him.

That leaves Weez and Gypsy playing the "no, you go first" game which Weez loses, collecting 9 points.

 -----------------------------------

Order of Play:

Gypsy - 22
Weez - 51
AJ - 63
Argus - 81

Gypsy figures she'll be stuck with that 22 at some point, and 4 points isn't a bad cost now compared to what it might be after everyone plays.

Everyone else lands on the old Row 1, with Weez leading the charge and taking 7 points.

Order of Play:

Everyone lines up in the same order, but the results are far less interesting, since after Gypsy's play everyone fits onto Row 1!

Argus 7
Gypsy 10
AJ 11
