Order of Play:
  • Weez - 7
  • Argus - 38
  • AJ - 99
  • Gypsy - 103

Weez decides to dump a low card while busting is cheap and takes the first point of the game for Row 4.

Argus lands on the old Row 2 while AJ and Gypsy top off the new Row 4.

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • AJ - 8
  • Weez - 29
  • Argus - 39
  • Gypsy - 98

AJ takes advantage of Weez's setup for him on Row 1 incrementing by one. Weez moves on to Row 2, also incrementing by one. Argus completes the +1 hat trick on Row 3. Gypsy misses the chance to play a 104, and instead bumps Row 3 high, making this now a 2-row game.

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 11
  • Weez - 25
  • AJ - 30
  • Argus - 32

Gypsy and Weez head for Row 1, taking 2 of the three spots there.

AJ and Argus do the same for Row 2.

Those with the 26, 33, 100, and 104 might be feeling comfortable right now. Everyone else might want to cross fingers and toes. grin

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 21
  • AJ - 33
  • Weez - 96
  • Argus - 100

Gypsy decides rather than gamble on more points she'll take the sure thing 4 points for Row 3.

This is a good thing for AJ as he lands safely as the last card on what is now the new Row 3, nearly doubling its points.

This is almost bad news for Argus who'd hoped to duplicate AJ's feat on the old Row 3, which no longer exists!

Fortunately for Argus, Weez sweeps in early to collect those 11 points, and he manages to escape damage!

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 1
  • AJ - 15
  • Argus - 22
  • Weez - 97

Gypsy decides a 1-point bust is a great time to offload her 1-card.

AJ had the same idea, but gets to avoid the point.

Argus was lucky enough to have one of 3 possible guaranteed safe plays on Row 1, and ends up third on the row instead of second as expected.

And Weez was nervous playing high on Row 2 hoping at least two people played under her. That doesn't happen, but fortunately nobody plays under her so her 97 fills the last spot on that row!

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • AJ - 23
  • Argus - 63
  • Gypsy - 72
  • Weez - 85

All eyes are on Row 1, where the name of the game is not to be third.

AJ has no worries with a guaranteed safe 23, leaving one spot for the remaining three players, who all gamble playing high.

Argus isn't as high as the others which is a good thing as he claims the last spot on Row 1.

Gypsy was saying prayers to the 6Takes God, but it seems those prayers are answered with 10 points, probably not what was being requested. grin

And Weez plays high enough to avoid the carnage.

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • Weez - 67
  • Gypsy - 69
  • AJ - 80
  • Argus - 91

Three out of four players surveyed liked to risk a 3-point bust, but none of them were eager to do so.

Weez ends up with the points while Gypsy's prayers to the 6Takes God have improved success! AJ survived without the need for divine intervention.

Argus was going to play on the old Row 1 and plays on the new one instead.

Everyone lines up in the same order as last turn, with Weez taking the 4-point Row 3 and Gypsy and AJ following behind. Argus again plays on the old Row 1, this time finding that last spot.
