Argus takes advantage of the opportunity to unload his 6 without taking a point, while Weez and Gypsy fill up the middle board on Row 2. AJ continues trying to close off high rows.

  • Weez - 27
  • AJ - 54

Gypsy, Argus, and Weez take advantage of the space on Row 1, filling it up!

AJ arrives, sees the full row, and increments Row 2 instead!

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 18
  • Gypsy - 55
  • AJ - 80
  • Weez - 82


Argus decides his best option is to duck low, swiping the 3 points for Row 4. Perhaps avoiding the imminent carnage was wise.

Gypsy cackles with glee as she has the last safe card for the former Row 2, upping the point total to 12 and waiting as AJ and Weez each try to not be second. AJ loses that fight, much to Weez's delight.

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 13
  • Argus - 19
  • Weez - 66
  • Gypsy - 75

AJ decides a bust is in order, taking a point for Row 1, which doesn't really change things for Argus, landing 2nd on the row.

Weez and Gypsy try to not be first on Row 2, but Gypsy wins that duel and Weez takes 5 points.

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 14
  • Gypsy - 28
  • Weez - 35
  • Argus - 76

AJ continues dumping low, probably a little annoyed that Argus's play last turn means he has to take 2 points to offload his 14. That does leave a bit more space on the row after Gypsy and Weez play than would have been there otherwise.

Argus squeezes onto Row 2.

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

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 41
  • Gypsy - 70
  • Argus - 77
  • AJ - 78

Space is dwindling, but can our fearless adventurers find away to avoid disaster?

Weez plays conservatively, taking the penultimate spot on Row 1. Gypsy may have thought two others would play before her, but finds herself second, and last on the row, filling it up!

Argus and AJ, meanwhile, increment consecutive cards on Row 2, adding a lot of points!

That point-free turn won't happen again. Don't let the space on Row 3 fool you. smile

Taking my warning to heart, nobody played on Row 3 where there was an illusion of space.

Because everyone made an intentional bust of that row! AJ is serious about it, though, claiming the 4 points while everyone else follows behind, piling on the points.

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 22
  • Gypsy - 58
  • Weez - 62
  • Argus - 89

AJ finds himself holding the lowest two cards, destined to bust turn 9, and able to avoid busting turn 10 by going low-high. He does so, with a 5-point card, collecting Row 4's 5 points.

Gypsy comes up next, nervously playing 58 and relieved to take the last spot on the former Row 1. But then she realizes she still has a 59 and she's cornered herself! If only someone will rescue her!

Weez, ever the chivalrous one, helps out by busting that Row, saving Gypsy from being hoisted by her own petard. Thanks, Weez!

Argus finds himself arriving last, with two cards above the two high-point rows. He goes high-low, perhaps hoping the higher first card would permit someone to play under him. He ends up collecting 14 points in the process.

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 39
  • Gypsy - 59
  • Weez - 67
  • Argus - 83

Everyone lines up in the same order.

AJ benefits from the wisdom of his low-high choice, with plenty of room on Row 1 for his 39, and even room for Gypsy's 59.

Weez finds herself alone on Row 2.

Argus perhaps should have compared notes with AJ, as low-high would have saved him the lead in the game. Instead, he ends up busting Row 3 for 8 points to finish the round, letting Gypsy sneak into the lead!

Scores for this round:
Gypsy 0 smile smile smile
Weez 18 blank
AJ 24 sad
Argus 25 sad

Scores so far this game:
Gypsy 32 smile
Argus 37 smile
Weez 45
AJ 47
