 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • AJ - 3
  • Weez - 53
  • Argus - 61
  • Gypsy - 95

AJ takes advantage of Argus's setup to unload his 3 for free.

This is good news for Gypsy who was hoping at least one person chose not to play on Row 3, and she caps off the row after Weez and Argus play first.

 -----------------------------------
Order of Play:
  • AJ - 4
  • Weez - 17
  • Argus - 26
  • Gypsy - 93

AJ has the perfect play for Row 1 and increments it.

Weez plays low and successfully grabs the last spot on Row 2, while Gypsy does the opposite, playing high and hoping not to be second. Her gamble works as Argus gets stuck in the middle to the tune of 11 points.

Order of Play:
  • Weez - 81
  • Gypsy - 87
  • AJ - 92
  • Argus - 94

The players collaborate lurk and decide it's walk-down time.

Argus finds the only card that can play on Row 2, while the other 3 players try to squeeze into two spots on Row 1. AJ is the odd man out and collects 5 points.

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 18
  • Argus - 30
  • AJ - 32
  • Weez - 42

Although the walkdown presents, everyone assumes someone else is in charge of playing the high card, and plays relatively low

Gypsy takes the point and everyone else follows on.

Order of Play:
  • Argus - 33
  • Weez - 43
  • AJ - 57
  • Gypsy - 79

Argus plays low, busting Row 2 for 3 points. This doesn't directly impact anyone as that row was otherwise unplayable.

Weez cackles with glee and plays the only guaranteed safe card in the game. That bites AJ with 7 points and leaves Gypsy with a relieved smile on her face.

Every card between 24 and 78 is safe, and the players take advantage of that whole range.

Weez draws the short straw and collects 2 points for Row 2. AJ and Gypsy follow along.

Argus watches the space on Row 2 disappear with WEez's bust and lands on the old Row 1, collecting 10 points.
