Order of Play:
  • AJ - 2
  • Argus - 3
  • Gypsy - 8
  • Weez - 11


Some nice low cards on the starting board give everyone a chance to unload low!

AJ, Argus, and Gypsy play on Row 1 while Weez increments Row 2.

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • AJ - 13
  • Argus - 33
  • Weez - 35
  • Gypsy - 99

AJ finds plenty of space on Row 2, while Argus and Weez take aim at Row 3, upping the points. As does Gypsy on Row 4.

Still a wee bit of room left if everyone cooperates.

Order of Play:

  • Argus - 104


Having played high last round, Gypsy returns to the low(er) cards, while everyone else rushes to unload their three-digit cards before they become a liability, closing out Row 4 and making this (probably) a three-row game.

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • AJ - 29
  • Argus - 30
  • Gypsy - 74
  • Weez - 81


There are four open spots on the board, and four players. Odds are someone's going to get squeezed.

AJ and Argus both head for Row 2, high enough to possibly think they'd be 4th if everyone went there, but actually filling up the row with a few more points in the mix, bringing the full row's total to 13 and making it the most likely row for everyone to play on next!

Gypsy and Weez both went high on Row 3, probably hoping for 2 people to play under them. Weez's strategy backfires as she's that second person. Ten points to Gryffindor!

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • Weez - 19
  • Gypsy - 68
  • Argus - 78
  • AJ - 84


Weez plays the 19 she should have played last turn, filling Row 1.

Gypsy got lucky last turn but that luck doesn't hold out, as she is first in line to nab Row 2's 13 points, while Argus sneaks in behind.

And AJ wanders onto Row 3 without even needing to elbow anyone out of the way.

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 31
  • Weez - 73
  • AJ - 76
  • Argus - 79


Gypsy sees the writing on the wall with high cards, and predicts she'll bust anyway. She offloads a 31 to collect 5 points before it gets worse.

Weez and AJ follow along on Row 1, while Argus finds space on Row 2.

The walk down is in full swing, with players trying to decide high or low. Points now or points later.

Argus nabs 3 points from Row 2 and everyone else follows along.

Weez was hoping someone would play under her, but it isn't even close. She collects 3 points for Row 3, while AJ and Gypsy follow along behind.

Argus slips onto the old Row 1.
