Order of Play:

  • Argus - 73
  • Weez - 90
  • Gypsy - 104


AJ bites the 5-point bullet with a bust of Row 2, hoping perhaps others might take a sure 5 rather than risking the higher rows. But it turns out everyone else risks Row 4, where the name of the game was to be first or last, but not stuck in the middle like Weez. No difference at this point between 1 and the dozen points she takes, as that seals the end of the game after this hand.

Lots of space on the board now, if you have the right cards.

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • Argus - 21
  • Weez - 45
  • Gypsy - 46
  • AJ - 102


Argus claims one of the three spots on Row 1, then sits back to watch the chaos unfold on Row 2.

Weez and Gypsy fight over the last spot, with Weez eking out a victory by a single pip, adding two more points and leaving Gypsy with 14 points as the pair of them are now both over the game-ending 66.

AJ tactically plays high enough to avoid the carnage!

Everyone piles onto Row 2. Anyone with a card in the 90s who didn't take this chance to play it may be kicking themselves.

  • Weez - 61
  • Gypsy - 77

Everyone lines up in the same order as last turn, with a broad range, and the goal not to be third.

Weez takes the baton back from Gypsy in the relay race for highest score, collecting 6 points.

The other three players fill up the three spots on the old Row 1.

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 60
  • Weez - 82
  • AJ - 87
  • Argus - 93

Gypsy and Weez have easy plays under 88 and slide effortlessly onto Row 1.

Both of Argus's cards are above Row 3, where he's forced to play.

AJ, who is ahead by exactly 1 point right now over Argus, has one card above and one card below 88, but doesn't realize how critical his decision is. He ends up going low, taking no points this round and letting Argus absorb the 5 points on Row 3. This temporarily increases his lead to 6 points going into the final turn.

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 55
  • Weez - 83
  • AJ - 92
  • Argus - 95


Both Weez and Gypsy remain under that critical 88 row, but this time it's a bust. Gypsy grabs the single point Argus left on Row 3 last turn, managing to barely hold on to third place.

Even if the 93 were still there, AJ painted himself into a corner and realizes too late that he's now landing on the 16 point former Row 2. eek

Argus follows behind, with a walk-off no-point winning play.

Points this round:
Argus 6
Gypsy 17
Weez 18
AJ 21

Final scores for the game:
Argus 44
AJ 54
Gypsy 82
Weez 83

Congrats Argus! yippee
