For every triple formed, the player that owns that triple earns 2 points. Strategy Mode The Strategy mode allows the player to place either a silver or gold piece on the circle in each turn. The player may count on having the option to place either type of piece. There are 4 moves per player per round. Risk Mode The Risk mode allows the player to place a randomly selected piece (silver or gold) on the circle in each turn. The player will not know what piece will be able to place on each turn. There are 4 moves per player per round. Artificial Opponent You may select either or both players to be an artificial opponent.
