Weez decides Row 1 needs some love, while Gypsy can't resist a safe play on Row 3.

AJ and Argus conspire to close out Row 4.

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • Argus - 22
  • Gypsy - 38
  • AJ - 48
  • Weez - 90


Argus finds no competition on the row he set up last turn, and Gypsy is pleasantly surprised to see nobody competing with her for Row 2's only free spot.

That leaves AJ and Weez competing for the one spot on Row 3. AJ played low hoping to claim it while Weez played high hoping that more than one person would play under her. Not to be. 7 points for Gryffindor!

Row 2 is full and awaits anyone with a card between 39 and 89. Weez, Argus, and AJ all manage to dodge above Row 3's 90 to avoid Row 2's haul, leaving Gypsy stuck with 6 points.

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 29
  • AJ - 88
  • Gypsy - 91
  • Weez - 94

Argus races for one of the two spots on Row 1, surprised nobody else was competing with him, leaving one remaing spot and a dozen points on the row.

AJ, Gypsy, and Weez head for Row 2.

Anyone got a 30 to play? grin

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • AJ - 50
  • Argus - 70
  • Weez - 80
  • Gypsy - 82

Everyone heads for Row 1 where the game is not to be second.

AJ gambles that everyone else will play high and safely offloads his 50, bringing the point total to 15.

That leaves Argus in the hot seat, collecting those points while a very relieved Weez and Gypsy follow behind.

Order of Play:

  • AJ - 75
  • Gypsy - 78


With few cards remaining, it's a tight squeeze in the middle. Weez goes low enough to grab Row 4's 5 points and lay down a high scoring Row 1 for anyone that has higher than Gypsy's 78.

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • Weez - 42
  • AJ - 61
  • Gypsy - 63
  • Argus - 68


Down to the last two cards and everyone is in between 42 and 61. It's pretty much a gamble of playing low on turn 9 for a chance at 6 points, or doing the same on turn 10 for an unknown number of points.

Weez is the only one to go low this round while everyone else played their higher cards. Turns out that creates a 4-point row for Round 10's low card.

But it also turns out that Weez would have been stuck with these 6 points anyway, so playing low was the wise choise. Someone else should have also played low to avoid the 4 points next round....

Who will it be.... ?

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 47
  • AJ - 57
  • Weez - 58
  • Argus - 64


Annnnnnnd... it turns out that had Gypsy played low last turn, she'd have avoided 4 points, giving them to AJ instead. Too bad, so sad. smile

Results after this round:
AJ 0
Gypsy 10
Argus 16
Weez 18

I'm going to hold off on the next round whilst vacationing. Amuse yourselves with some of the other DL options!
