Players are dressed to the nines... except AJ, who has the highest card still in play. Gypsy lands on Row 2, which is good for AJ who would otherwise have collected 15 points from Row 3. But now Row 3 will probably last until the end... | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 |

The presence of two 1-point rows is too tempting for Argus to resist, and he swipes Row 4 before anyone can play on it.  AJ and Weez head for the former Row 1, while Exeter and Gypsy conspire to leave a single space on the former Row 2. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 |

The wide open vistas of Row 1 attract.... absolutely no one. Perhaps because only the 7, 8, and 9 would fit there and players knew that safe play would still be available on the next turn. Gypsy and Argus made guaranteed safe moves to fill out Row 2, however, while Argus gambled on that row, taking 11 points. Row 3 only had one free spot, and Exeter barely beats out AJ in a footrace for it, leaving AJ holding the bag with 9 points. Lots of room now! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 |

It's a game of highs and lows. Gypsy goes as low as possible, snagging Row 2 for a point. Exeter lands on the former Row 1 with a guaranteed safe play, followed by AJ a long ways behind. Weez and Argus find Row 3 to their liking! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 |

Lots of room on Row 1, and most of it is claimed by Exeter, Gypsy, and AJ. Not quite as much room on Row 2, but betwen Argus and Weez, it's claimed. No damage this turn, but I don't think that will be said next turn! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 |

And the walk-down begins! The first round is a relatively safe time to take low, with 4 points available on Row 3. Argus edges out AJ for the honors, everyone else following behind and creating a new 7-point row which is now the minimum number of points that someone will take. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 |

It's turn 7, and there are three 7-point rows. Anyone feeling lucky? Three strategies apply. Play low with an almost sure bust, but control over row choice and the chance to get rid of a low card. Play high, above one of the rows, also likely busting, but likely producing a 1-point row for an intentional later round bust. Or play in the middle and take your chances. AJ ends up low enough to have his choice of rows, and picks Row 3. Weez, Gypsy, and Argus follow behind. Exeter probably wishes AJ had chosen Row 1, and instead joins AJ in taking 7 points. I don't predict that Row 2 will last long. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 |

Four players make a go at the 1-point row, three of them in serious contention. Weez wins the honor of the Row 2 point, while Exeter, AJ, and Gypsy follow along. Argus makes a bold gamble on Row 3, succeeding in claiming the final spot. Time for the final choices this round! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 |

"Fore!" Or, perhaps, "four." There's a theme going on here, with everybody playing a multiple of four except AJ, the odd man out (whose odd number still adds up to four). And that nets AJ four points. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,274 Likes: 12 |

Weez ends up with the low card on the last round, just in time to catch double-digit rows everywhere. Her best choice is Row 3's 10 points. This allows AJ to breathe a sigh of relief, while Exeter and Gypsy pile on behind. Argus may have known that the 60 and 61 were both played, making his 62 safe on Row 2, claiming the last spot there.
