Order of Play:
  • Argus - 21
  • Weez - 40
  • AJ - 98
  • Gypsy - 103

Row 1 has very little space, but Argus strolls confidently into a safe spot. Weez increments Row 2, AJ Row 3, and Gypsy Row 4! Way to spread out, team!

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 3
  • Gypsy - 9
  • Weez - 12
  • Argus - 104

No fewer than three players opt to take a 2-point bust, but AJ is the clear winner of those points.

Argus plays on Row 4, intending to land on the 103 but landing on the 98 instead.

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

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 14
  • AJ - 25
  • Argus - 46
  • Weez - 54

With Row 4 blocked, there are only 5 free spots on the board. And everyone manages to spread out and find one!

Gypsy knows she's safe on Row 1, and leaves just enough room for whoever has the 15 next round to be safe. Everyone else? All bets are off.

AJ slips onto the end of Row 2, while Argus and Weez fill up Row 3!

Someone will be taking points next turn! wink

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 2
  • AJ - 10
  • Gypsy - 90
  • Weez - 91

Argus and AJ both are willing to take 4 points, but Argus gets those honors and AJ escapes damage.

Gypsy tries to play high enough to avoid being first on Row 3, but undercuts Weez by a single pip to take 7 points, while Weez gets a free ride.

Order of Play:

  • Gypsy - 89
  • Weez - 94
  • Argus - 96

With 6 points on the line, everyone went for the high end of Row 3, or Row 4.

Aj did not go high enough and takes the six, while Gypsy follows behind.

Weez and Argus sneak onto Row 4.

AJ aims for the last spot on Row 2 and takes it, upping the score to 5, while everyone else hangs back. Argus arrives second and claims the 5 points -- could have been worse.

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

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 30
  • Gypsy - 33
  • AJ - 35
  • Argus - 52

Row 1 attracts all comers, with the goal not to be last.

Weez, Gypsy, and AJ all not only play low enough to avoid being at the end of the line, but they play cards with extra points, loading up the row with 14 points before Argus arrives. Ouch.

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 34

  • Gypsy - 59
  • Argus - 69

Weez aims squarely for the 1-point row, followed by AJ.

Gypsy and Argus would have landed on the 1 point row if it was still there, but land on the new Row 1 instead, setting up for the finale...
