A new board. New possibilities.

One of those possibilities is to dump a low card for a point, which Weez chooses, taking out Row 4.

Argus also plays low, but on the old Row 1.

Gypsy and AJ unload high cards on a different Row 4 than they were aiming for.

Weez dumps low, taking advantage of the row she set up for herself. Argus and Gypsy squeeze on to Row 2 leaving just one spot. And AJ tops off Row 4.

Order of Play:
  • Gypsy - 12
  • Argus - 16
  • AJ - 17
  • Weez - 20


Weez could be expected to reason that since nobody played on Row 1 last turn, there was little risk in trying to dump a third low card. Unfortunately, everyone else jumps ahead of her and she's stuck with 9 points.

At least playing between 21 and 45 is safe next turn...

Everyone took the hint to play it safe this round, filling up Row 1 smile

Gypsy and AJ have the same idea to take out Row 3 which has lingered far too long with one point available. Gypsy takes the point.

Argus was hoping to land on the old Row 3 but instead takes the last spot on the new Row 3, adding 5 points to it.

Which is very bad news for Weez, who collects 11 points.

Gypsy and Argus spring for two of the three spaces on Row 1 avoiding the inevitable carnage of Row 2.

AJ and Weez try their best to avoid said carnage, and Weez lucks out while AJ collects 12 points.

There's only one spot on Row 1, and AJ slips into it, upping the row to 6 points. Weez was trying to play high enough to not be second, but all for naught as she collects those 6 points.

Argus and Gypsy play on Row 2, unloading high cards.

Three players are willing to take a 1-point bust, but AJ is serious about it and claims Row 3 while Weez and Argus follow behind.

Gypsy lands on the old Row 1 making it a 2-point bust target.
