  • Weez - 67
  • AJ - 72

Gypsy and Argus both spy an opportunity to unload single digit cards on a 1 point row. Gypsy takes the point.

Weez and AJ aim for that same row that just disappeared, but land on the next one down with room to spare.

  • Weez - 12
  • Gypsy - 43
  • Argus - 75
  • AJ - 76

Weez takes advantage of the low row, while Gypsy heads for Row 2. Argus and AJ fill up Row 3!

Order of Play:

Weez knows she's safe on Row 1 and grabs a spot, leaving room for one more!

Gypsy is 99.999% sure she's safe on Row 2 and grabs a spot, leaving room for one more!

AJ grabs the spot Gypsy left!

Argus looks for space on Row 2 and finds none! Instead he finds 10 points!

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 5
  • Weez - 19
  • Argus - 56
  • Gypsy - 71

AJ spies a chance to get rid of a low card for a point, busting row 2.

Weez was nervously eyeing the former Row 1, but is able to claim the last spot.

Argus was heading for the former Row 2, but thanks to AJ and Weez ends up with nowhere to go, taking 5 points. Couldda been worse.

Gypsy gets the satisfaction of knowing that playing high to avoid the chaos was a good move this turn.

Order of Play:

  • Gypsy - 22
  • Weez - 47
  • Argus - 74

There's plenty of room on Row 1, and everyone takes advantage. Except Argus, who finds Row 2 more to his liking. Although nobody else can play on Row 2 now and there's only one spot on Row 1....

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

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 41
  • Weez - 49
  • Gypsy - 58
  • AJ - 60

The three-point bust row only attracts one player, with Argus claiming Row 2.

Everyone else tries to squeeze onto the one spot at the end of Row 1. With the 48 already played, Weez knew she was safe, and Gypsy and AJ kept politely trying to let the other one go first, with Gypsy eventually getting to collect 10 points, whilst AJ was rewarded for his chivalry.

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 31
  • Gypsy - 55
  • Argus - 61
  • Weez - 92

AJ decides a 1-point bust is worth unloading a low card. Gypsy follows behind on Row 1 where she'd planned, just with a different leading card.

Argus has a guaranteed safe play on Row 2.

Weez has a most definitely unsafe play on Row 3, collecting 8 points.

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 63
  • Argus - 81
  • Gypsy - 84
  • Weez - 93

There are a lot of free spots on the board, but Row 2 attracts three players for two spots. AJ's play is guaranteed to be safe, while Argus and Gypsy take chances, with Gypsy losing out to the tune of 7 points.

Weez may have been worried someone would swipe Row 3 out from under her, but she's all alone on that wide open row.
