Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 12
  • Weez - 13
  • AJ - 42
  • Argus - 91


Weez takes advantage of the wide open Row 1 she set up for herself last turn, but not before Gypsy snags a spot first.

AJ slips quietly into the last spot on Row 2 while nobody's looking, while Argus finds plenty of space on Row 3.

Argus and Gypsy conspire to close off Row 1, just in time for Weez to collect 6 points. Couldda been worse.

AJ makes Row 3 essentially unplayable the next turn.

Weez's misfortune last turn created the perfect opportunity for AJ to claim his "gotta take it sometime" point, saving Argus the trouble.

Weez and Gypsy play on Row 1 as planned, just on different lower cards.

AJ goes first again, this time at the cost of 4 points.

Weez follows behind.

Argus ends up with the 5 points from Row 2 while Gypsy starts the walk down, maybe.

AJ is low enough to choose his own adventure, busting Row 2 for 2 points.

Argus increments the former Row 1, now the new Row 2, leaving just enough space for Weez and Gypsy to follow behind and fill it up.

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 45
  • AJ - 46
  • Weez - 72
  • Gypsy - 80

Everyone squeezes onto Row 1, filling it!

Last moves, everyone!

And it's down to the wire... Weez is 1 point under the game-ending threshold so we might get to a Hand 6. And AJ is ahead of Argus by a single pip.

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 47
  • Gypsy - 57
  • Weez - 77
  • AJ - 79

AJ enters the final round with a 1-pip lead over Argus, while Weez and Gypsy are one pip shy of the end-the-game threshold.

Argus ends up busting, and naturally chooses the lowest-point Row 1 for 4 points. This puts him 5 points behind AJ but everyone lives to play another hand.

Had Argus chosen to bust Row 4, however, things could have been different. He'd be 9 points behind for the moment, but that would have added Weez's 5-point play to Row 1 causing AJ to bust it for 9 points, tying it up at 42 points. But we'd still be going to another hand...

Scores this hand:
AJ 7
Gypsy 7
Weez 7
Argus 9

Cumulative scores for the game:
AJ 33
Argus 38
Gypsy 65
Weez 65

A tale of two games. It was the lowest of scores. It was the highest of scores.

Last time we went to a hand 6, one of the players at 65 took 0 points and won while everyone else went over.
