Weez jumps out with a bust, swiping Row 3, which nobody notices. Argus aims for the old Row 1 and everyone else fills the old Row 2.

Order of Play:

  • AJ - 75
  • Argus - 91

Although Row 1 was wide open, nobody played there. Instead, Gypsy and Weez crowded into line to grab the last spot on Row 2. Gypsy snags it and Weez collects 8 points.

AJ grabs a spot on Row 3 and Argus squeezes onto Row 4.

Weez and Argus each head for safe plays on the wide open Rows 1 and 2 respectively.

Gypsy and AJ both take a risk on Row 3, filling it!

Order of Play:

  • Argus - 44
  • Weez - 73

The open spots are at the low end of the board. AJ is the only one to go for Row 1 which is good news for the other three players as they fill up Row 2!

Someone's taking points next turn. wink

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 34
  • Weez - 37
  • Gypsy - 70
  • Argus - 96

There are only three spots on the board, but four players.

AJ and Weez set their sights on the two spaces on Row 1, filling it!


Gypsy played high on Row 1, possibly hoping all three other players went under her, but Argus sneaks into the last spot on Row 4 while nobody is looking, filling that row too, and leaving Gypsy as the sixth entry on Row 1, taking 5 points. Couldda been worse.

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 20
  • AJ - 68
  • Gypsy - 69
  • Weez - 87

It's walk-down time!

Argus doesn't get the memo. Or, perhaps he's unloading low while the points are cheap. He collects 3 points while AJ and Gypsy follow behind.

Weez finds choosing a 6-point bust of Row 3 to be her best tactical option at this time.

AJ and Argus arm wrestle over the right to take the 1-point Row 3, with AJ winning this round.

Gypsy lands third behind them and looks back to see Weez grumbling as she's all alone on the high cards, taking 9 points for Row 2.

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

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 57
  • AJ - 58
  • Weez - 74
  • Argus - 83

Gypsy finds herself in sole possession of the lowest two cards, meaning she's busting the last two turns. For turn 9 she selects Row 3, while AJ follows behind making sure she takes 2 points next round instead of 1. smile

Weez finds no competition for her spot on Row 2 initially, but Argus ends up there after Gypsy swipes his landing pad! Still just enough room.
