Take 6: Results of Round 8

[Spiderman]

Here's how the columns looked:

2(1).....5(2).....51(1).....32(1)
9(1)...12(1)..................33(5)
19(1).17(1)..................34(1)
43(1).39(1)..................53(1)
.........47(1)...................75(2)

Cards to be played in order:

EricBess: 21
Gerode: 24
Apollo: 58
Melkor: 61

EricBess takes the third column for a point:

21(1).....2(1).....5(2).....32(1)
.............9(1)...12(1).....33(5)
...........19(1)...17(1).....34(1)
...........43(1)...39(1).....53(1)
.......................47(1).....75(2)

Gerode had the same idea but was saved that point:

21(1).....2(1).....5(2).....32(1)
24(1).....9(1)...12(1).....33(5)
...........19(1)...17(1).....34(1)
...........43(1)...39(1).....53(1)
.......................47(1).....75(2)


Unfortunately, this means Apollo is forced to take the now third column with 6 points:

21(1).....2(1).....58(1).....32(1)
24(1).....9(1)..................33(5)
...........19(1)..................34(1)
...........43(1)..................53(1)
......................................75(2)


Thus saving Melkor from taking those points and ending the game after the 10 rounds are over

21(1).....2(1).....58(1).....32(1)
24(1).....9(1).....61(1).....33(5)
...........19(1)..................34(1)
...........43(1)..................53(1)
......................................75(2)

Scores:

Melkor: 64
Apollo: 51
EricBess: 37
Gerode: 19

Cards for Round 9 are due Friday, 1/18. If you play a card lower than the 24, let me know what column you want to take.
