What happened

  1. Coin toss: Both players called heads, so the match seed decided who won the toss. The coin landed tails.
  2. Zephyr won the toss and chose to go second: Let the opener sweat the pie rule. I'm happy to be seat 1.
  3. Zephyr: Block the bridge. Your path is toast, Juniper.
  4. Juniper: Locked. Left to right. GG, Zephyr.
  5. The match ended.

Debriefs

The game is well-balanced, but adding a visual indicator for the shortest path could help players visualize their bridge connections better.
