The initial cards are spread out, as Weez finds a spot on Row 2, Argus on Row 3, and Gypsy and AJ dump high cards to close out Row 4.

 -----------------------------------

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 15
  • AJ - 32
  • Weez - 63
  • Gypsy - 66

Argus and AJ play over/under on Row 1. As the under, Argus takes a point, and AJ ends up as the second card just like he expected.

Weez and Gypsy make playing anything in the top third of the deck risky!

 -----------------------------------

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 20
  • Weez - 34
  • Gypsy - 53
  • AJ - 70

Weez has a guaranteed safe play on Row 1. Which is, of course, still safe but the second card rather than the third after Argus claims the 3 points.

Gypsy wanders onto row 2 uncontested, and AJ snags the last spot on Row 3, making people with cards under 70 much happier than those with cards above 70.

 -----------------------------------

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 9
  • Argus - 22
  • AJ - 35
  • Gypsy - 36

Weez and Argus both volunteer for the 4-point bust, but it's Weez who gets to knock out Row 4.

AJ and Gypsy have guaranteed safe plays on the old Row 1.

Order of Play:

  • Argus - 28
  • AJ - 58

There's only six spaces left on the board, and everyone combines to fill four of them and avoid points this round. Weez, Gypsy, and Argus fill up Row 1 while AJ leaves only one spot on Row 3.

 -----------------------------------

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 30
  • Gypsy - 40
  • AJ - 52
  • Weez - 68

With space tight and 7 points the minimum bust, it's time for tactics!

Argus decides to clear out Row 1 for 9 points.

Gypsy gambles that she won't have to take 7 points, slipping into the last spot on Row 2 and leaving AJ holding the bag with 10 points.

And Weez closes out Row 3, convenienly hidden behind Row 4 awaiting the end game.

Lots of room and low-point busts now!

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 4
  • AJ - 12
  • Weez - 26
  • Argus - 94

Gypsy and AJ spy the 1-point bust and sprint for it, with Gypsy winning the race. Weez was willing to take the point as well, and ends up in a lazy third.

Meanwhile, Argus runs out of options and heads reluctantly to the high end of the board, taking the unlucky 13 points from Row 4.

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 6
  • AJ - 14
  • Weez - 87
  • Argus - 90

Gypsy and AJ reprise their race for the single point, with Gypsy once again sparing AJ the point.

On the high end, Argus is fortunate to not have to take points a second time in a row, as Weez steps up for Row 3's 8 points.
