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

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 1
  • Argus - 45
  • Gypsy - 100
  • AJ - 102

Gypsy and AJ decide to continue the high game, a small risk if everyone did it. But Argus chooses to go one row lower with his 45, and Weez decides to take the inevitable point her 1-spot will give her, pulling the rug out from under Argus. He still lands softly on Row 2, just on a different card.

Gypsy and AJ see a chance to get rid of single digit cards and race to Row 1!

Weez and Argus see a chance to safely get rid of mid range cards and race to Row 2!

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 7
  • Gypsy - 10
  • Argus - 53
  • Weez - 101

There's an illusion of space on the board, but nothing can play on Row 4 and only the 103 could play on Row 3, a choice (if anyone had it) that wasn't made this round. That left four cards for three spots on Rows 1 and 2.

AJ and Gypsy slip into the last spots on Row 1, high-fiving each other as they achieve success while watching the rest of the turn play out.

Weez went high, hoping at least two players played above 48. Alas, Argus spoils those hopes, leaving her with six points. Couldda been worse.

Now there are four spots available on the board. Or are there? wink

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

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 79
  • Gypsy - 87
  • AJ - 94
  • Argus - 97

Everyone's forced onto Row 1, trying to play high enough to avoid taking the 8 points.

Weez is unfortunately not high enough, and everyone follows along to officially kick off the walk-down.

A one point bust for the taking!

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 11
  • Argus - 19
  • Weez - 33
  • AJ - 78

Unsurprisingly, everybody plays under 97. Gypsy leads the charge, taking 1 point with her 11 on the 101 row, an odd move in binary. grin

Everyone else follows behind!

The walkdown continues. Argus leads the charge taking 4 points with his 23, while Weez and AJ follow along.

Gypsy nabs the last spot on the old Row 1.

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 18
  • Weez - 73
  • Gypsy - 77
  • Argus - 81

The walkdown proceeds apace. Weez, Gypsy, and Argus all play above Row 1, which would have ended up a disaster for Argus. Except AJ was the sole player willing to bust the row, taking 3 points for the team.

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

Order of Play:

  • Weez - 34
  • Gypsy - 54
  • AJ - 66

The memo goes out, suggesting people play a card ending in 4. Argus, Weez, and Gypsy oblige, but AJ didn't get the memo. grin

Argus also has his choice of bust rows, selecting Row 3 for 6 points.
