When players are dealt the 1, they know they're guaranteed to take a point somewhere. Anything higher can sometimes avoid the point if the 1 comes out first. And with the 1 out on the first card, AJ, Argus, and Weez all take the chance to dump their single digit cards. Gypsy plays the rebel and goes to the other end of the board. | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 |

With little space on Row 1, most players queue up on Row 2 instead! Except for Gypsy, bumping up the score on Row 3. | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 |

As space on the board dwindles, so do options. There's only room for 1 on Row 2, and Gypsy sneaks into the last spot despite playing one of the highest cards that would fit there. That leaves the other three players claiming the three spots on Row 3. Everyone has managed to avoid points so far, but the free ride is over! | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,218 Likes: 55 Wizop Administrator | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,218 Likes: 55 | Not quite as planned but I'll take it! | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 |

The only way to avoid points was to be the lowest player on Row 1, but nobody opted for a low play there. Instead, Gypsy and Argus both went for the 3-point intentional bust, with Gypsy winning by a pip. That left AJ and Weez, both likely figuring they'd be third or fourth, battling for the first spot. AJ claims it and Weez takes home 6 points. | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 |

AJ and Argus decide to gamble that their low-ish cards won't be the fourth ones on Row 1, succeeding. Gypsy plays high, reasoning that someone might play above the 81 -- which Weez does! Everyone's safe this turn, but that won't be the case next turn.... | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 |

Playing over 66 is a dangerous option, so everyone plays under, either high enough to not be first... or low enough to pretty much assure the 2 points from Row 2, which Weez does while everyone else follows behind. | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 |

It's a similar situation as last round with under-60 preferable, and a choice between playing closer to 60 to avoid the bust, or dumping a low card for the points now, hoping to benefit later. But card options dwindle, so even these choices are constrained. Weez beats out AJ by a single pip to claim Row 1's 6 points. while Gypsy casually follows behind. Argus is stuck taking Row 3's 9 points. | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 |

Three out of four players surveyed said they'd like to bust Row 3. AJ is the most serious about it and claims the point. That leaves Argus landing on the new 12-point Row 3 instead.

Gypsy is in the unfortunate situation of having the lowest two cards remaining in play, and is the only one who can tactically bust. At least there's a 1-point row for her to take. That leaves AJ, Argus, and Weez trying to squeeze into two spots. They don't all fit, and Weez ends up with 11 points. | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 |

Gypsy takes a point again, replacing Row 1 with a different row 1. AJ finds more space than he needs on Row 2. And Weez takes another 11 points as she loses out to Argus in the "not it!" game as the high cards finally have to be played on Row 4. | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 | Final scores: AJ 1 Gypsy 5 Argus 21 Weez 36 | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,218 Likes: 55 Wizop Administrator | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,218 Likes: 55 | Targeting AJ! | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 20,695 Likes: 1 Moderator | Moderator Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 20,695 Likes: 1 | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 Maris Imperium Member | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,178 Likes: 10 | Hee hee.
