I playtested this game, and it was delightful. Complete with what we have started to call "reversal of fortune" (see above). This game has the most intriguing scenarios of all the above variants. For each turn, a particular action has a probability of 1/2, but it's paired with one of the others at random. It works particularly well. Please, give it a try. |

We noticed a general pattern: the player who gets first to own all three Larges is winner. It's a matter of time. So, the other player should resign as a courtesy. But there's nothing wrong to see why and play the first game out to the end. The stronger player will gain traction but only slowly. Nevertheless, there will be a time they own the 3 Larges and the 3 Mediums. That's when finally a Large can be sacrificed without the risk of losing it to the opponent if at the same time there's a Small in the Bank. |
