I'm guessing it was something like

Weez 1
Argus 79
Exeter 91
Aqua 100*3
AJ 102

Those cards look like turn 1 of Gypsy's Game 24 Round 4.

Play in order of lowest card first:

Exeter 4
Weez 5*2
Argus 6
Aqua 90*3
AJ 97

Opportunities abound to ditch both high and low cards and so there is a high/low split between the players. smile

Exeter, Weez & Argus play a tight little grouping of 4, 5 & 6 on row 1; whilst Aqua and AJ opt for rows 2 and 3 respectively! grin

in =theory= it is possible to avoid a bust next round, in practice however rolleyes

Play in order of lowest card first:

Aqua 7
Argus 73
Exeter 76
AJ 82
Weez 92

Very low and very high are the best strategies here. smile And if you have to play under 90, then the higher the better! wink

Aqua has a great play.. the 7. Not only does it fit on row 1 but adds another point to the bust total! grin Just in time for Argus to clear the way for everyone else, taking 6 points in the process sad Exeter and AJ follow on gratefully.

Weez however is showing her independent streak again. grin With some trepidation she plays her 92 and is delighted to land it securely on row 2.

Play in order of lowest card first:

AJ 3
Weez 10*3
Aqua 12
Exeter 19
Argus 42

AJ has his bloodlust up and charges the enemy, taking a further 5 points of shot! The others stay close behind him realising how effective he is as a shield! grin

Well an interesting round of two halves with Argus & AJ taking real damage! blaze Argus hitting a high enough total to end the game.

Whilst Aqua & Exeter avoiding points all together! Well done! grin Which means Exeter stayed in the game. Quite an achievement as he was 1 point from falling off the cliff!

And Weez took only one point, her tactical choice for the first turn as she has the 1 card! And that gives her the win! Great stuff! grin

RESULTS END OF GAME

Weez = 36 points grin (1 point this round)
Aqua = 44 points smile (0 points this round)
AJ = 59 points (24 points this round)
Exeter = 65 points (0 points this round)
Argus = 75 points sob (22 points this round)
