Weez has a lovely card for row 2, doubling the points and leaving just one space for temptation

The other three players opt for row 3 though but there is only room for two of them. Aqua and Argus rush the door, squeezing into the warmth whilst Alduin is left out in the cold scoring 6 points!

AJ 96

I had thought that row 3 might attract a bust but instead a lot of players.. in fact everyone.. decides to play on it. Quite a tight group fill up the row and AJ, who might have hoped that 1 player might just have played elsewhere

, busts the row for 15 points!!

First Weez and then Aqua move to fill up the row leaving no room for Argus who busts for 5 points.. could be worse.

Alduin and AJ are relieved to follow on!
