That causes everyone else to fall onto the old Row 2.

  • Argus - 52
  • Gypsy - 94

AJ and Weez play conservatively on Row 1, while Argus and Gypsy head to Row 2.

This may be a 1-row game soon! smile

Order of Play:

  • Gypsy - 3
  • Weez - 29
  • Argus - 101

AJ and Gypsy both spy a chance to take a 1 point bust, but AJ wins the honors.

Weez, meanwhile, takes one of the remaining spots on the former Row 1 whilst Argus does the same for the former Row 2.

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

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 8
  • Gypsy - 24
  • Weez - 74
  • AJ - 88

Argus plays conservatively on Row 1, and Gypsy less so, still leaving room for one more.

AJ may have though he could sneak in a high card on Row 2 to close it out while everyone else aimed for Row 1, but Weez foils his plans to the tune of 9 points.

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

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 13
  • AJ - 79
  • Gypsy - 87
  • Weez - 91

With one spot on Row 1, both AJ and Gypsy played high, a reasonable effort to be third or fourth. Except that Argus decides an intentional bust of Row 3 is in order, taking 4 points, and Weez is happily in possession of a card that fits on the wide opn Row 2. This means AJ ends up taking the last spot on the old Row 1, and Gypsy ends up taking 5 points.

  • Weez - 38

Everyone fits on Row 1. Argus, AJ, and Weez continue to unload low cards whilst Gypsy seems comfortable walking down the high cards.

Argus steps up to the head of the line to claim the 1-point Row 2, relieving AJ of the trouble. Gypsy and Weez continue the walk down with the high cards.

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

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 53
  • Weez - 60
  • AJ - 70
  • Gypsy - 72

Options are dwindling, and players are trying to decide whether to play high or low, balancing this round vs. the potential in the next two.

Argus leads the charge, forced to take 6 points with his 53. Of the three options, he picks the shortest row, row 3. Everyone else follows behind, with Weez and AJ making sure the minimum bust score is still 6.

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

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 42
  • AJ - 55
  • Argus - 56
  • Weez - 63

Gypsy finds herself with the lowest two cards remaining, and thus busts the last two rounds. There are two six-point rows for her to choose between. Like her card order, it doesn't matter which one she chooses first...

Row 4 goes first, while everyone else files behind Gypsy, with AJ piling on enough points to ensure the other 6-point row gets taken...

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 40
  • AJ - 50
  • Argus - 58
  • Weez - 83

Everyone lines up in the same order as before, with Gypsy now taking the full row 4 for 6 points. AJ and Argus follow behind and Weez, who had been holding her breath, is more than happy to land on the new Row 4 that has just enough room for her!
