Play in order of lowest card first:

Weez 1
Aqua 18
AJ 75*2
Exeter 101
Argus 103

As in Aqua's game Weez is dealt a 1 immediately disproving Aqua's optimistic projection of a zero round or two. And like in Aqua's game she plays it straight away, taking out row 4 for 3 points. This lady lives dangerously grin and has determined that this is the end game.

Aqua plays where he planned except that it is now row 2! wink

Two players had planned to play on row 4 and still do but now AJ joins their company! grin

Next choices via PM please.

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 8
Aqua 9
Exeter 29
Weez 31
Argus 34

With lots of opportunities for low cards, not surprising then that people are playing low! grin

Two rows have open vista and those attract everyone with AJ & Aqua playing on row 1, whilst Exeter, Weez & Argus play on row 3.

Not so much space now wink Might be enough for one each.. but the odds are against it! rolleyes

Play in order of lowest card first:

Weez 10*3
AJ 11*5
Exeter 17
Argus 35*2
Aqua 96

Most folk are still playing fairly low cards, may be a reason for that! wink

Trouble brews though when three players try to fit into the two spaces left on row 1. Weez & AJ squeeze together whisper and add another 8 points to the row just in time for Exeter to bust it for 11 points zoiks Anyone might think a conspiracy was afoot!

And Argus sneakily nabs the last spot on row 3. Now Aqua might be forgiven for expecting that at least one person - other than Argus - might play on that row.. but not to be, The 6 points are his! sad

Play in order of lowest card first:


AJ 19
Aqua 38
Argus 40*3
Weez 66*5
Exeter 97

AJ knows he has a nice play this round, heading to the three spaces on row 2 full of confidence. grin Aqua and Argus are less sure but AJ has left room for them both. Probably a little relief there. wink

Weez however was concerned about her choice and it seemed she had every right to be! eek She arrives on row 3 to find all the seats taken and has no choice but to bust for 8 points! Not the result she had hoped for. sad

Exeter is very happy that the 96 had remained in play as he had the 97! grin

A range of only 9 cards being offered this round! And it would have been avoiding 4th! Aqua ducks! Except that Argus chooses instead to bust row 3 for 2 points. smile Aqua breathes again. grin

So there is a 10 point bullet heading in. Aqua sees it coming and ducks. AJ is surprised and takes the bullet dead centre, the 10 points along with it.

Plenty of room now for lower cards! wink

Aqua has a sneaky card for the new row 3, neatly filling the last spot. grin

And Argus as he probably expected busts the new row 4 to take the 13 points. eek

Aqua 90*3
Argus 89
Weez 94

Close grouping of numbers at this stage! wink

AJ goes first and is forced to bust row 3 for 13 points and tumbles over the edge! eek Exeter is a hair's breadth of falling off the cliff but hangs on by his finger tips. Argus and Aqua are still on the edge but in the safety zone. smile

Weez is astonished that the 93 is still there. She pats it fondly as her 94 slides next to it on row 4. grin

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 14
Exeter 57
Argus 80*3
Weez 84
Aqua 92

Way more spread out in the last round grin

AJ has a bust again, this time hitting row 4 for 2 points, a little less painful wink

Exeter is very pleased to land safely on the new second row. smile

Now Argus and Weez are left eying up that last spot on the new row 3. Both make a dash for it but Argus gets there first forcing Weez to bust for 11 points! eek

And Aqua breathes a heartfelt sigh of relief to find his planned spot, now the last on the board, is still there. Heart thumping he settles in comfortably! grin

FINAL RESULTS END OF GAME

Aqua = 41 points yippee
Argus = 47 points grin
Exeter = 55 points smile
AJ = 59 points
Weez = 85 points sob
