Order of Play:

  • AJ - 98
  • Argus - 103


Weez nabs the 1 point for Row 2, creating a nice new Row 1.

Gypsy plays on the old Row 1, now the new Row 2.

AJ and Argus figure they'll get rid of high cards before it turns riskier, making a nice 3-point row sure to be intentionally busted in the future.

Argus and AJ, who went high last turn, decide to go low this turn! (Argus grabs a point in the process.)

Weez and Gypsy, who played low last turn, decide to go high this turn!

Most cards in play fit on Row 2, where there are only three spots. Weez takes the pressure off by playing on Row 1, leaving the others to fill Row 2.

There's an illusion of 6 free spaces on the board, but only one of the top 4 is even possible if someone has the 104. So in reality it's the two spaces on Row 1 and tactics suggesting one should go low enough to be one of the first two or high enough to be fourth. Third is right out.

Argus and AJ duck in low, filling the row with 9 points.

Gypsy and Weez go high, trying to avoid being next. Gypsy doesn't get high enough, however.

It's the walk down!

Except Gypsy doesn't get the memo, dumping a low card to collect Row 4's 3 points.

Gypsy continues rebelling against the walkdown, busting Row 4 for 5 points.

Weez and AJ follow predictable walkdown plays.

Argus sneaks into the free space on the old Row 1.

Gypsy continues to dump low cards as long as the busts are relatively cheap. Everyone else follows along.

Cheapest bust is now 6 points, let's see if tactics change!
