Well row 1 is an obvious favourite! Interestingly only 3 players head there, all landing safely!

So who are our two dare-devils?

AJ is the first slotting into the last slot on row 2. Risk taken he sits back to watch the trap he baited.

Weez is the second dumping her high card onto row 4 whilst there is room.

Everyone safe.. =this= round!

Play in order of lowest card first:

Alduin 12
Aqua 62
AJ 70*3
Argus 86
Weez 87

That board does not look good!

Alduin is first to dip his toe into deep water, hoping not to drown. He elects to use a rubber ring at a cost of 5 points to take out row 3 and keep his head above water! Aqua follows swimming in Alduin's wake.

AJ does a perfect swan dive, cresting the top of the water in the last spot on the new row 2. And setting a new 'unlucky for some' trap!

Alduin's jump in first policy saved Weez from being swamped by Argus who in turn is swamped by the new row 3 wave taking 5 points of water! Weez follows him paddling safely in the shallows.
