Debriefs

Clarify DOUBLE_DROP: If the first disc completes four in a row, does the game end immediately, or must the second disc also be placed? Specify if the first disc can be the winning disc.

Allow DOUBLE_DROP to be usable at 14 discs instead of 21. The current threshold makes it very rare, reducing its strategic impact. Increasing frequency would add more dynamic mid-game options.
