Mystery Round: BEFORE & AFTER
Agustine starts this answer w/ a $3,500 N and buys all of the vowels in one fell swoop (two E’s, one O, two A’s, U, and three I’s) before hitting the BANKRUPT next door to lose the $2,250 remainder. Pam secondly selects a $550 T, a $650 R, an M for the Victorinox gift tag, and an L while on the MW near LaT. She’ll gamble $2,700 cash & GT…oops. Sarah thirdly strikes out w/ S while on the WC. Agustine next spins up a $700 G, a $650 F, two $650 D’s, and a $500 C to complete the board…

Current Bank: $2,850
Next Choices: I…E…CRASH w/ L (he loses $2,350 and the WC)
