Everyone plays high! In most rounds this would be bad news for the last player, but in this case, the presence of a high start card changes the equation. AJ lands on Row 3, while the rest of the crowd fills Row 4. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,325 Likes: 13 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,325 Likes: 13 |

With only 3 available spots on Row 3, Gypsy and Argus chose to head for the sunnier latitudes of Row 2, leaving AJ, Weez, and Exeter to fill up a second row. It's now a 2-row game! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,325 Likes: 13 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,325 Likes: 13 |

With only two spots on Row 2, I wondered if enough people would squeeze onto Row 1 to go three rounds without anyone taking a point. Well, the answer is no, for two reasons. The first reason is AJ, who intentionally took the one point from Row 1. Exeter's play was guaranteed to be safe and he ends up right where he expected to be. But the other three players had to squeeze into two spots. Weez had every reason to be confident of safety, and Gypsy had to gamble that both the 45 and 46 weren't played. The odds are ever in her favor and she manages to snag the last spot. This is bad news for Argus, though, who was taking a much bigger gamble, and takes home 10 points. At least there's a bit more breathing room for the next round. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,325 Likes: 13 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,325 Likes: 13 |

With three spots on Row 1 and Four on Row 2 and a reasonable spread between them, you'd think there might be no busts this round. You'd think wrong. Argus and Gypsy do take two of the three Row 1 spots, while Weez and AJ do similarly on Row2. Exeter, however, finds himself stuck on Row 4, possibly reasoning that he's going to get those 9 points anyway and he may as well pick his timing... Or maybe he's setting himself up for a 1 point bust... | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,325 Likes: 13 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,325 Likes: 13 |

Exeter may have been setting up a 1-point bust, but he's the only one not to go for it. All other four players try to claim Row 4, but it's Gypsy who tries the hardest. Exeter, meanwhile, lands on the old Row 2 while nobody's looking. No more cheap busts, and only two playable spaces on the board.

AJ and Gypsy both try to squeeze into the one spot at the end of Row 2. AJ is successful, and Gypsy is 9 points the wiser. A similar situation takes place on Row 3 with three combatants vying for the prize of a seat at the table. Exeter wins the seat and Argus collects 7 points, while Weez can be happy she was in last place. Lots more room now! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,325 Likes: 13 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,325 Likes: 13 |

Gypsy decides since she's still in the lead she'll take points on her third consecutive turn! But at least this time she is in control and elects Row 3's 2 points. That throws everyone else onto the old Row 2, filling it and trapping anyone above 74 with a probable 10 points. I have a feeling the tactics will be interesting the next turn. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,325 Likes: 13 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,325 Likes: 13 |

There were five free spots on the board, although Argus makes room for one more by taking a 1-point bust. Argus, AJ, Weez, and Exeter fill up Row 1 save for a single spot, while Gypsy slides quietly onto Row 2! | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 10,539 Administrator | | Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 10,539 | Shouldn't row 1 now look like this?

There's only one free spot on the board, but the 25 is not in play this game so nobody's sure of it. AJ ends up taking that spot with a 64. This is bad news for Exeter who busts the row with 66 and collects 9 points, much to Gypsy's relief as she slips in behind Ex. Weez and Argus are both stuck on Row 3 this round, trying to be the highest. Argus wins that battle and Weez collects 10 points. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,325 Likes: 13 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,325 Likes: 13 |

The previous turn left a 4-point row, which AJ claims as the low-card-holder, while Gypsy slips in behind. Exeter is out of low cards, though, and ends up on the 7-point former Row 2 just one pip below Weez, who gladly follows behind along with Argus, ending the game.
