  • Argus - 79
  • AJ - 102
  • Gypsy - 103

Weez jumps into the new round with a bust, swiping Row 4 for a point. That leaves everyone else piling onto the old Row 3.

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

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 11
  • Gypsy - 18
  • Argus - 19
  • AJ - 93

The low rows attract a few players wanting to dump low cards. Weez, Gypsy, and Argus pile on to Row 2, while AJ works on turning this into a two-row game.

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

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 3
  • Argus - 5
  • Weez - 13
  • AJ - 77

The 1-point row attracts not one, but two players willing to take the point. Gypsy scores it while Argus gets to dump a single digit card for free. Weez lands on Row 1 as expected, just on a different card.

AJ probably didn't expect to take the last spot on Row 2, but that's exactly what he does, leaving an unlucky 13 points for anyone stuck with a card between 78 and 92.

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

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 34
  • AJ - 68
  • Gypsy - 72
  • Argus - 94

Weez might be surprised that nobody played under her, but she snags the fourth spot on Row 1, leaving the last one for AJ. Gypsy probably thought everyone would play under her, but collects 6 points as she didn't count on Argus playing his 94 before anybody swiped Row 3 out from under him.

Order of Play:

  • Weez - 50
  • Gypsy - 67

Everyone ducks under the limbo bar of Row 1, with AJ going the lowest and earning a point, while everyone else fills the row behind him.

Everyone has taken points this hand so far except Argus, who decides it's his turn and claims the 4 ponits from Row 4. The other three players follow in a tight group.

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 54
  • Gypsy - 55
  • Argus - 57
  • Weez - 92

There's a little bit of congestion at the head of the line, as three players haven't learned how to maintain social distancing. AJ squeaks in just ahead of Gypsy, collecting 4 points.

Weez has learned to stay more than 6 cards away, but overdoes it as the only player on Row 3 with an unlucky 13 points.

Order of Play:

  • AJ - 49
  • Argus - 58
  • Weez - 86

Gypsy rushes to the front of the line to grab the 1-point bust, creating a new row 1. Having learned their lessons on social distancing, AJ follows well behind on that new row while Argus heads to the new row 2 and Weez lines up in the new row 3.

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 43
  • Gypsy - 56
  • Weez - 80
  • Argus - 82

It seems everyone has run out of low cards except AJ, giving him the sole honor of choosing a bust row. The four points of Row 1 aren't too bad. Gypsy lands on Row 1 where she expected, just a card earlier.

Weez looks around, wondering why nobody is fighting her over the last spot on Row 2, slipping into the last spot on a row for the second consecutive turn. Where Weez didn't look was directly behind her, where Argus arrives to find no room at the inn, collecting an unlucky 13 points which guarantee the end of the game after the next turn...

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 35
  • Weez - 84
  • Gypsy - 90
  • Argus - 91

AJ is still in sole possession of busting cards, but Argus has provided him a 1-point row to mitigate the damage, busting row 2.

Weez was headed for that row, but doesn't mind finding herself on the new row 2.

Argus finds himself directly behind someone for the second turn in a row, but this time it works out in his favor as he allows Gypsy to scoop up Row 3's 8 points before he arrives to find a nicely cleared-out row.

Final scores for this hand:
AJ 10
Weez 14
Gypsy 16
Argus 17

Final scores for the game:
Gypsy 19
AJ 23
Weez 39
Argus 73

Very close at the end, where a few card choices would have made the difference! Congrats to Gypsy!
