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

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 1
  • Argus - 25
  • AJ - 92
  • Gypsy - 102

Weez has so much momentum from the last game that she just has to kick off the new game taking a point. She swipes Row 1.

Argus plays second on Row 1 just like he planned.

AJ and Gypsy dump high cards on Row 4!

Order of Play:

  • Weez - 53
  • Gypsy - 84
  • AJ - 93

It's Argus's turn to grab a 1-point row before it disappears, and he successfully nabs Row 3 with his 7.

Weez, Gypsy, and AJ end up on the new Row 3 instead of the old one they targeted.

Order of Play:

  • Weez - 28
  • Argus - 94
  • AJ - 103

Gypsy steps up for her turn at the 1-point Row 1. You'd think people would coordinate these low cards, eh? I wonder if AJ will take the 1-point row next turn.

Weez lands on Row 2, Argus on Row 3 and AJ on Row 4!

Order of Play:

  • Argus - 14
  • Weez - 19

AJ joins the "1-point bust club" making the score tied 1-1-1-1. grin

Everyone else follows along on the new Row 1. No more cheap busts!

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 20
  • Weez - 23
  • Gypsy - 30
  • Argus - 34

AJ has the perfect card for Row 1, slipping into the fifth spot and upping the total to 7 points just in time for Weez to scoop them up.

Gypsy and Argus pull a similar one-two punch on Row 2, where there's actually room for both, filling it up!

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 13
  • Gypsy - 15
  • Weez - 85
  • Argus - 100

AJ and Gypsy are both lucky enough to still have low cards, competing for Row 1's point. AJ claims it.

Weez plays high on Row 2 but finds herself alone there, collecting 8 points while Argus reasons that a near-certain 5 points from Row 3 is better than other options.

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 27
  • Gypsy - 45
  • Weez - 87
  • Argus - 91

With lots of high cards and only three spots on Row 1, playing high on the first row would be risky. Which is why Weez and Argus play high on the second row, leaving AJ and Gypsy plenty of room on Row 1.

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

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 42
  • Weez - 47
  • AJ - 76
  • Gypsy - 80

One might expect everyone on Row 1, avoiding second place.

Argus defies expectations and busts Row 3, leaving the remaining three to compete for one spot. Weez is low enough to claim it and Gypsy is high enough to avoid being squeezed in the middle. AJ takes home 7 points.

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

Order of Play:
  • AJ - 41
  • Argus - 50
  • Gypsy - 78
  • Weez - 99

AJ has to bust, and for the price of a point notches down Row 1 by a pip. There's plenty of room for Argus and Gypsy to follow along, and Weez is unopposed on Row 3.
