Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 1
Aqua 6
Weez 14
Exeter 25*2
Argus 102

Interesting topsy turvey first round. Argus often plays low, AJ always high! Not this time! grin

AJ goes first, taking the one point row 3 and probably hoping to catch some high card players. wink Again not this time! grin Aqua follows him.

Weez sees a great opportunity on the new second row and Exeter on the new third row. They both take 'em! smile

So a really good spread of options left wink

Next choices via PM please.

Play in order of lowest card first:

Argus 9
Aqua 12
Exeter 80*3
AJ 87
Weez 90*3

Argus and Aqua both have the same idea and head for the same place. Fortunately there is a space there for each of them, Argus first whilst Aqua takes the last slot filling row 1. smile

Everyone else heads for the two spaces on row 3, however this time there are three players and two spaces and we all know three into two don't go! wink Exeter and AJ get away with it whilst Weez cops for 12 points! Ouch! eek Weez is not having a good game urgh

Play in order of lowest card first:

Aqua 13
Exeter 81
Argus 83
AJ 84
Weez 92

Aqua doesn't like the lay of the board and decides his best course of action might be to take the 5 point bust in the interests of avoiding a worse fate! grin And so his 13 busts row 1 as he expected.

Everyone else plays high, three of whom land on row 2. The trick here is not to be second. That honour falls to Argus as he watches Exeter just sneak into that last spot ahead of him and AJ happily waves him on to take the 9 points. sad Maybe Aqua had a good strategy? grin

Weez has a better option though as her 92 slips softly onto the third row! wink

Plenty of spaces or low bust options now! lol

That empty first row is beckoning hard and everyone's heads swivel towards it.. well fortunately everyone's except for Weez's as there is only room for four who pile on to fill the row and take it into double figures! grin

Weez however has her own agenda, following the plan she set up in the last two rounds as she slips onto row 3! wink

Play in order of lowest card first:

Exeter 32
Aqua 34
Argus 43
AJ 61
Weez 94

With no room for cards in the bottom half of the draw, most folk are thinking about busting!Exeter has serious intent though, playing his 32 to take row 2 for 2 points! Relieved, Aqua, Argus & AJ pile on behind him! grin

Weez however is playing her own game on row 3, a 94 this time. Where is she getting these cards? whisper

Quite a close grouping this time, almost every playing a card with the potential to bust! grin

And Weez takes that option first, striding boldly forward - maybe tired of playing by herself - and busts row 1 for 4 points. Not too bad! wink

Everyone else follows the leader, filling row 1. grin

Again everyone is playing a game and with the potential to bust. But I do understand row 2 avoidance! grin

Weez goes first again but this time she elects to bust row 4! Makes no difference rolleyes she takes 5 points and everyone piles on behind her again.

Next two turns might prove interesting..

AJ goes first and is forced to bust a row. Fortunately row 2 with its meagre 5 points beckons him over. Exeter and Aqua gratefully follow him onto the new row 1. wink

Now Weez & Argus both play high. Weez goes first and as she foresaw has to bust the 10 point row! sad Argus however is gleeful as he dances after her onto that row. grin

Play in order of lowest card first:

Exeter 44*5
AJ 66*5
Aqua 67
Argus 68
Weez 73

Exeter's turn to step up to the plate. Row 3 is quite a nice bust, just 4 points and so he takes it.

AJ isn't so lucky. He has to bust new row 3 for 9 points! sad Everyone is queuing tightly behind him to file into a safe spot! smile

RESULTS END OF ROUND 3

Argus = 32 point grin (9 points this round)
AJ = 33 points smile (15 points this round)
Aqua = 35 points smile (5 points this round)
Exeter = 39 points smile (6 points this round)
Weez = 63 points eek (31 points this round!!)

Argus is leading! Well done! grin AJ, Aqua and Exeter are still smiling, in with a chance but poor Weez, not a good round, is on the brink of collapse! eek

It ain't over 'till it's over! Argus put together two 0-point rounds in a row, you can do the same!

I recall being in a similar situation as you in a previous game, throwing caution to the wind and making wild, risky plays, and coming out squeaky clean. grin
