Play in order of lowest card first:

Argus 1
Aqua 36
Weez 64
Exeter 80*3
AJ 104

Argus decides to get rid of his 1.. cheaply! Usually a good strategy & busts row 3 for 1 point! grin

Aqua now plays where he planned except that it is now row 3 wink and Weez now follows him onto that row.

Exeter and AJ elect to play their usual high card strategy landing on row 4. smile

Next choices via PM please.

Play in order of lowest card first:

Argus 2
Weez 14
Aqua 31
Exeter 69
AJ 84

Argus goes first having set himself up for this play last round! So that's what he was up to! grin Weez follows him, happy with the amount of elbow room she has. wink

Aqua instead heads to the even wider vistas of row 2 and it has it all t himself! smile

Exeter and AJ conspire together and fill up row 3! whisper

Play in order of lowest card first:

Weez 17
Exeter 33*5
AJ 35*2
Argus 39
Aqua 62

Weez sees a clear opportunity for herself on row 1. She scuttles forward and grabs it whilst it is still there. wink

Everyone else heads for row 2 as there are three nice little spaces to occupy. Trouble is that four of you head there. Exeter, AJ and Argus jump aboard, ratcheting up the points and turn to grin at Aqua who has found himself up the proverbial creek without a paddle. Ouch! 10 points he probably wasn't expecting. eek

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 3
Argus 6
Exeter 19
Weez 71
Aqua 82

AJ likes the idea of busting a row wide open, especially as row 2 is such a little row. He takes 1 point! wink Argus willingly plays follow-my-leader.

Exeter holds his breath but then lets it out again when he realises he can still slip into that last spot, now on row 2. grin Unfortunately no more room and Weez and Aqua are queuing up for a slot. Weez obliges Aqua and busts row 2 for just 5 points, could be worse, making room for them both. smile

Although the board now looks roomy, it is tighter than it first appears! rolleyes

AJ 4
Argus 20*3
Exeter 21
Weez 72
Aqua 81

Heh.. same order as last round! wink

So AJ steps forward for another low scoring bust and takes row 2 for 2 points!

This leaves everyone rushing to claim the last three spaces on the new row 2. Thing is.. there are four of you. The axe swings and falls on Aqua's neck. He takes 7 points of damage. Ooops wink

Play in order of lowest card first:

Argus 55*7
Aqua 97

AJ goes first landing happily on row 1, and three others follow just as happily, first Exeter, then Weez and finally Argus, between them racking up a massive score. wink

Everyone watches expecting Aqua to be following to bust that painful row.. but no! He elects instead to get rid of a high card this round taking out row 3 for 5 points instead! Good choice Aqua! grin

AJ goes first again! This time he opts to bust row 2 for the 1 point, presumably hoping that someone will cop the old row 1. wink

Weez is not that obliging instead stalking AJ onto the new row one! grin

However Exeter is always an obliging soul as he, maybe not so happily, busts the old row 1 for 16 points! Ouch! eek And he was doing so well! sob

Both Argus and Aqua are much relieved as they follow him onto the row. smile

Well nobody goes for a bust this round which is likely to be bad news for someone! AJ sneaks onto row 1 with Argus tiptoeing behind him. Exeter who has been holding his breath, realises that there is still one space left and slips into it thankfully leaving Aqua frowning as he has nowhere to go! And so he is forced to bust for 7 points! sad

Weez had a little play of her own left, kindly set up by Aqua the previous round and she takes it sliding onto row 2. grin

Play in order of lowest card first:


AJ 56
Argus 59
Aqua 74
Exeter 78
Weez 85*2

AJ is first and tastes the 5 point penalty on row 2. Two others follow him on the newly formed row 1. smile

That leave Exeter and Weez who are both playing above the 75 at the end of row 2. Exeter, always the gentleman, lays his 78 cloak to soak up the 8 damage, allowing Weez to daintily miss the puddle. grin

RESULTS END OF ROUND 2

AJ = 18 points grin (9 points this round)
Argus = 23 point smile (1 point this round)
Aqua = 30 point (29 points this round)
Weez = 32 points (5 points this round)
Exeter = 33 points sad (25 points this round)

A real turn around as we head into round 3 wink
