  • Weez - 58
  • AJ - 63

As a reward for winning the last game, Karma decided to give Gypsy a guaranteed point in this one with the 1-card. She decides to take the 1-point bust before the opportunity disappears, swiping Row 2. Argus was also willing to take the point but gets away for free.

Weez plays on Row 2, which looks slightly different by the time she gets there. AJ, meanwhile, plays a safe card on Row 3.

AJ sees that he missed a chance to play his 2 for free, and decides 2 points isn't a bad price to pay. He swipes Row 2, starting a new Row 1.

Everyone else races for the old Row 1, filling it up!

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 5
  • Weez - 7
  • Argus - 21
  • Gypsy - 93

Everyone lines up in the same order as last time, with markedly different results. smile

AJ pounces on the low row he set up for himself last turn, with Weez close behind and Argus still in the "guaranteed safe" range.

Gypsy closes her eyes, holds her breath, crosses her fingers, and finds herself taking the last spot in Row 3.

No points this turn, but someone's taking them next turn. Other than some lucky player who might have the 22...

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 6
  • Weez - 11
  • Argus - 22
  • Gypsy - 80

For the third turn in a row, the order is the same. The results, notsomuch.

AJ and Weez both decide a sure 3 points is better than a risk of more, and play low, with AJ collecting the points.

Argus cackles with glee as he plays the only safe card of the turn, filling the old Row 1 with his 22 and doubling its points.

Gypsy was hoping someone else... anyone else... would play below her on Row 2, but her hopes are dashed and she collects 8 points.

Order of Play:

  • Gypsy - 71
  • Argus - 87

Those who could play other than between 22 and 80 fled for those bastions of safety, with AJ sliding onto Row 1 and Argus onto Row 3.

Gypsy and Weez found themselves fighting for the chance to be in second place on Row 2, and Gypsy wins that contest, with Weez collecting 10 points.

Order of Play:

  • Weez - 34
  • Argus - 72
  • AJ - 73

The previous two turns were slightly painful, but opened up the board, with plenty of room for a tactical repositioning play going into the last 3 cards.

Gypsy and Weez fill up Row 1, while Argus and AJ target Row 2, leaving just enough room for one more.

Row 3 has room for a few more, for a select few with the necessary cards...

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

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 32
  • Weez - 52
  • AJ - 69
  • Argus - 88

Argus took me up on the invitation to Row 3. Unfortunately, Gypsy shows up first and swipes the row away, taking 4 points.

No matter, Argus happily takes the last spot on the new Row 3.

Meanwhile, Weez and AJ wish they had better cards, and each tries to push the other one to the head of the line. Weez ends up losing that scuffle and taking 9 points for the old Row 1.

Lots of space (under 88, at least) for your last two moves!

In the "High-Low" tatical choice for the final rounds, everyone starts low!

Argus kicks off the penultimate round with a 1-point bust of Row 1. Everyone else follows along behind.

  • Weez - 94

Only one spot left on Row 1! What to do?

Gypsy decides to head to Row 2 and bust it, avoiding the issue altogether at the price of 2 points.

Argus happily lands in the last spot, the only player not to take points this turn (having only taken one point this round, in the previous turn.)

AJ unhappily lands in the sixth spot with all the X'es in it. That means 8 points.

And Weez finds herself as the only one with a card above 93, taking Row 4 for 7 points.

Final scores this round:
Argus 1
AJ 13
Gypsy 15
Weez 26
