Breaking Down the Game

After 10 rounds, Amber was the winner πŸ‘‘ of Pumptown. Here is what happened in each round! You’ll see how the different players strategized and utilized Pump Cards!

  • Round 1: Amber knocked with a score of 0 (indicated by an “❌” in the top left corner). Amber πŸ† won the round (indicated by a “⭕️”), and received a Pump Card.
  • Round 2: Kevin knocked with a score of 0. Nish shot the moon 🌠 and also earned a score of 0 (“40β†’0”). Tie goes to the knocker, so Kevin πŸ† won the round and received a Pump Card.
    • *Tip*: Cumulative scores are tracked in the top right square.
  • Round 3: Alexa knocked early in the round with a score of 12. She would have had the lowest score, but Nish used his “Eliminate πŸ—‘οΈ” Pump Card and subtracted a 9 from his total score. His 17 turned into a score of 8, so he beat Alexa this round. Alexa got a 10 point penalty (+10) for knocking. Nish πŸ† won the round and earned a Pump Card.
  • Round 4:Β Kevin πŸ† knocked with a score of 0, won the round, and earned a Pump Card. Both Alexa and Sydni shot the moon this round and also earned a score of 0.
  • Round 5: Steph knocked early in the round with a score of 11. She tied for the lowest score with Sarina, but tie goes to the knocker. Steph πŸ† won the round, her score became 0, and she earned a Pump Card! (High risk, high reward!)

Β 

Half way through the game, and the scores are very close! Steph is in first place with 41 points and Nish is right on her tail with 44 points. It’s still anyone’s game!

Β 

  • Round 6: Alexa πŸ† knocked with a score of 0. She won the round and earned a Pump Card. Nish successfully shot the moon AND used the “Redistribute πŸ”” Pump Card to give out 42 points❗️across the players of his choosing! He decided to give Steph 24 points, Sarina 10 points, and Kevin 8 points. I guess he perceived them to be the biggest threats in the game! 😈
  • Round 7: At the beginning of the round (and in a fit of rage πŸ‘Ή), Steph decided to use the “Double πŸ‘―” Pump Card to double Nish’s points for the round (x2). Sarina πŸ† knocked with a score of 0 and won the round and a Pump Card. Sean shot the moon and his score became 0 for the round. Nish ended up with 40 points this round!
    • *Note*: Nish’s points were doubled to 40, but he did not earn a score of 40 or higher, therefore he did NOT shoot the moon.
  • Round 8: This round was a wild ride 🀠. Alexa knocked with a score of 0 and Sarina unsuccessfully shot the moon, resulting in 38 points! However, Sarina had a “Duel βš”οΈ” Pump Card, challenged Alexa, and won! Therefore Sarina πŸ† won the round– her score became 0 and she earned a Pump Card! Alexa was stuck with 38 points and no Pump Card!
    • *Note*: Although Alexa knocked and technically lost the overall round, she did NOT get a 10 point penalty as her original score for the round was 0 (38 points is enough of a penalty as it is πŸ˜…).
  • Round 9: This round lasted a while! Sydni πŸ™…πŸ»β€β™€οΈ blocked Alexa’s knock, then Kevin πŸ™…πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ blocked Steph’s knock. After many rotations around, Sydni πŸ† finally knocked with 0 points, won the round, and received a Pump Card. In the meantime, Kevin was able to swap ♻️ enough cards and achieve a score of exactly 20. By earning a cumulative score of πŸ’― on the dot, Kevin’s overall score was chopped πŸ”ͺ in half and left him with 50 points, bumping him into first place πŸ₯‡!
  • Round 10: Kevin entered Round 10 with a 14-point lead and an air of overconfidence. In Pumptown, it’s never over until its over! Nish πŸ† knocked with a score of 0 and won the final round. However, Amber was able to shoot the moon AND use her “Redistribute πŸ”” Pump Card that she had been saving for this exact moment. She gave 24 points to Kevin and 16 points to Sarina to secure her victory and rise from third place πŸ₯‰ to first place πŸ₯‡!
