Order of Play:
  • Argus - 7
  • AJ - 16
  • Gypsy - 98
  • Weez - 103

Everyone almost managed to spread out on all 4 rows, but not quite. Argus and AJ hit row 1, Gypsy lands on Row 3, and Weez saunters onto Row 4.

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

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 3
  • AJ - 17
  • Gypsy - 18
  • Argus - 33

With only one 1-point row remaining, Weez decides a point now is a good idea, swiping Row 2.

AJ and Gypsy notice that the old Row 1 has two spots, and know their cards are guaranteed safe! They fill the row.

This is all bad news for Argus, who would have been fine without all three other players colluding. As it is, his card lands on the now-full new Row 2 and he busts for 5 points.

Order of Play:

  • AJ - 34
  • Weez - 37
  • Argus - 55

Gypsy spies a chance to unload her 5 for free and takes it, while everyone else loads up the points on Row 2.

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

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 15
  • Weez - 39
  • Gypsy - 58
  • AJ - 96

Argus and Weez avoid any risk of taking Row 2 by ducking under it, claiming two of the three spots on Row 1.

Gypsy gambles that nobody will play under her 58, and it works! She claims the last spot on Row 2, upping the ante to 15 points.

AJ probably hoped everyone else played under Row 2 so he could knock it out of play with a high card. Unfortunately, Gypsy's won gamble ends with him losing.

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

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 19
  • Argus - 24
  • AJ - 46
  • Weez - 86

Gypsy decides to take advantage of the one-point row to get rid of her 19. Argus had a similar idea but was spared the point.

It's AJ's turn to follow Gypsy's example, gambling on the last spot on the original Row 1. He snags it, and Weez is left with 7 points.

Order of Play:

  • Weez - 52
  • AJ - 62
  • Argus - 72

With only 3 spots on Row 1, the object is not to be last!

Gypsy, Weez, and AJ get the memo. Argus gets 6 points.

Weez spies a 1-point row and takes it. Everyone else fills up space on Row 1 just like they planned.

Gypsy finds herself with the lowest two cards remaining. Fortunately, she has two 2-point rows. I'm not sure how long she agonized about which one to choose first, but it doesn't much matter as she'll get the other one in turn 10. smile
