Performance Insights
The game’s unique scoring system introduces a trade-off between boldness and caution. Aggressive players seeking to dominate the board may risk consecutive moves, while more reserved players can capitalize on their opponents' missteps. This dynamic creates a balance that rewards both strategic thinking and tactical precision. Additionally, the game’s “freeze” mechanic, which grants immunity from consecutive move penalties, adds a further element of strategy and risk management.
