Debriefs

The rules are excellent. I would suggest adding a 'draw' condition if the board fills up and no one wins, as the current rules mention it but the code might not handle it gracefully if not explicitly.

DOUBLE_DROP requires 21 discs, making it rare. Lower the threshold to 15 discs to increase strategic depth and mid-game utility.
