What happened

  1. Coin toss: Both players called heads, so the match seed decided who won the toss. The coin landed heads.
  2. Onyx won the toss and chose to go first: I'll take first. The pie rule lets Marlowe swap if I pick a strong opening, so I'll keep it modest.
  3. Onyx: Blocked.
  4. Marlowe: The spine connects. Case closed, partner.
  5. The match ended.

Debriefs

The game is well-balanced. Maybe add a timer or visual highlight for bridges to aid spatial awareness.
