Argus, AJ, and Weez spot the chance to unload their single-digit cards at no cost.

Gypsy heads to the other end of the board!

Order of Play:

  • Weez - 28
  • Argus - 53
  • AJ - 76


Nobody feels like risking the last spot on Row 1. Instead everyone pairs off with Gypsy and Weez going to Row 2 while Argus and AJ hit Row 3.

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • Weez - 16
  • Gypsy - 30
  • Argus - 31
  • AJ - 93


Weez takes the risk of someone topping off Row 1 before she gets to it, and succeeds in claiming the last spot, due in part to Gypsy and Argus's race to fill Row 2 and AJ continuing to play on Row 3 while nobody else is.

Someone is taking points next round...

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • Argus - 6
  • Gypsy - 95
  • Weez - 101
  • AJ - 104


Argus decides a 2-point bust is his best option, swiping Row 4.

Gypsy aims for the only free spot on the former Row 3, claiming it just in time for Weez to sweep up 6 points. That's good news for AJ who had thought he was save on Row 4 and is.... barely... on the new Row 4.

Gypsy and AJ head for the wide open vistas of Row 1, while Weez and Argus both try to avoid the 9 points of Row 3, with only Argus successful in that quest.

AJ and Gypsy squeeze into the last two spots on Row 1.

Weez is out of options and is forced to bust Row 2 for 5 points.

Argus saunters onto Row 3, whistling a tune.

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 61
  • AJ - 71
  • Argus - 81
  • Gypsy - 86


Nobody wants to take Row 1's 8 points and crowds onto the high end of the board. AJ and Argus succeed in playing high enough and Gypsy even goes so high she lands on Row 2.

That leaves Weez to continue her terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

AJ keeps his place at the front of the line. He has his choice of three-point rows but didn't tell me... and it doesn't really matter as nobody will play above Row 1 on the last turn and whichever 3-point row AJ doesn't take, the Round 10 buster will take.

Gypsy managed to avoid taking points the whole game, but her luck runs out on the last turn. Fortunately, there's a 3-point row available and she had a 13-point cushion to keep the lead.

Scores for this hand:
Argus 0
Gypsy 3
AJ 7
Weez 28

Final scores for Game 35:
Gypsy 31
Argus 41
AJ 48

Congrats, Gypsy!
