What happened

  1. Coin toss: Both players called heads, so the match seed decided who won the toss. The coin landed tails.
  2. Vesper won the toss and chose to go second: The pie rule favors the second seat. I take it.
  3. Vesper: Your path is severed. The seal holds.
  4. Onyx: Chain complete. The stone falls.
  5. The match ended.

Debriefs

Add a move timer or visual hints for bridges to make the strategic depth more accessible to casual observers.

The pie rule timing feels slightly opaque; explicitly showing swap value would help new players.
