Order of Play:
  • Weez - 2
  • Gypsy - 7
  • AJ - 8
  • Argus - 93

Weez doesn't think the 3 is low enough and plays her 2 to create a new Row 1.

Gypsy and AJ are quite happy with the 3 which is now on Row 2.

Argus heads to the other end of the board.

  • Argus - 51
  • Weez - 97
  • AJ - 104

Gypsy likes playing low and enjoys playing her 9 expertly on Row 2.

Argus moves toward the middle of the board on Row 3.

And Weez and AJ close out Row 4 before they lose their chance.

Everyone heads for Row 3, where there's room enough for 3. Gypsy, AJ, and Weez get chairs before the music stops, and Argus gets 9 points.

Everyone piles on to Row 3!

All cards between 10 and 102 are competing for one spot. smile

Order of Play:

  • AJ - 88
  • Weez - 91
  • Gypsy - 92


Unless you are in possession of the 4, 5, or 6, you're playing on Row 2. Which everyone does.

Argus plays high but lower than everyone else, snagging that last spot on Row 2, and leaving AJ in the unlucky 5-point second-place spot while Weez and Gypsy breathe a sigh of relief.

Order of Play:

  • Weez - 18

Everyone is guaranteed to be safe if they play between 2 and 92, which they do, filling Row 1.

I guess nobody got the memo that it's walk-down time... or everyone is dumping their low cards before the walk down. Either way, someone's taking points next turn. smile

Everyone goes high, hoping to avoid Row 1's 7 points.

Except for Weez. She takes the points, still leaving a minimum of 5 points for whoever busts next round.

  • Weez - 31
  • AJ - 57
  • Gypsy - 61

Weez is justifiably nervous with her 31, but Argus comes to her rescue two pips lower to claim Row 1's 5 points.

AJ and Gypsy watch the chaos from a respectful distance.

More than one player has expressed nervousness at their middle cards, not realizing how high they are as everyone is stuck with low cards. Well, a few players are really stuck.

Argus bites the bullet while the cost is only 4 points, claiming Row 1 while everyone else follows behind.
