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

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 1
  • Argus - 79
  • Gypsy - 100
  • AJ - 103

Weez gets rid of the 1 like it's a hot potato, tossing it onto Row 3. That makes Argus land on the old row 2, but otherwise doesn't change much.

Gypsy and AJ take a lesson from me and Argus in the other game and get rid of high cards quickly!

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

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 5
  • Weez - 80
  • Gypsy - 84
  • AJ - 89

Argus takes advantage of the 1-row to get rid of a single-digit card without taking any points.

Weez, Gypsy, and AJ conspire to fill up Row 3, leaving anyone with a card in the 90's wishing they'd have played it this round.

The three spots on Row 1 entice AJ and Weez, leaving room for one more.

Gypsy and Argus play on Row 2, leaving 2 spots for most of the cards still in play...

Alllllllllllll Aboard! Now boarding turn 4! Space is tight!

Seating customers holding tickets in Row 1! Room for one more with ticket #11... you sir! Argus! That spot is yours!

Now moving to Row 2! We have room for two starting with 33. 33, anyone? You, ma'am! Come on in, Gypsy. How about 34, anyone with 34? Aha, Weez, you lucked out with the last seat!

That's it, the board is full, unless you have a 104! Anyone?

Bueller?

Oh, hello, sir! AJ! You have a ticket? 74, you say? Sorry, all the seats are full but I'll save you a spot in Row 2 on the next train. That'll cost you 10 points.

  • Argus - 81

The bad luck continues for AJ as everyone else has a higher card. He collects 12 points for Row 1 while Gypsy breathes a huge sigh of relief. Argus and Weez weren't exactly safe on Row 2 with the potential for a bust, but land there with plenty of room to spare.

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 18
  • Argus - 21
  • Gypsy - 22
  • Weez - 23

Weez decides to try to bust Row 1 with her 23.

Not having any of that, Gypsy elbows her way ahead with the 22.

Argus yells "Blackjack!" and jumps in front of them with his 21.

AJ casually strolls in, commenting that the other three are "amateurs" and calmly claims the 2 points with the 18.

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 29
  • Gypsy - 67
  • Weez - 70
  • Argus - 90

With only one spot on Row 1 where most of the cards fall, the strategy is to go low and try to snag the first spot, or high, to try to be at least third.

AJ is the sole competitor in the low category, breaking his streak of 3 consecutive busts to finally go point-less, filling Row 1 with 9 points just in time for Gypsy to take them, while Weez cackles in glee.

Argus, meanwhile, figures he's stuck with Row 3's 7 points at some point, why not now?

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 48
  • AJ - 57
  • Gypsy - 62
  • Weez - 91

Three players duck under the 70, with Argus earning the honor of choosing a bust row. He takes Row 3 for three points, while AJ and Gypsy follow behind.

Weez was going to play on Row 3, and still does, just a different and slightly more full row 3.

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 36
  • AJ - 38
  • Argus - 52
  • Gypsy - 53

Everyone is forced to play under Row 1 for the last round, where Weez, who opened the round with a single point, closes it with 3, while everyone else follows behind, probably relieved to get a fresh deal of cards shortly...
