Welcome back everyone

Over the holidays my family and I played lots of games, cards are so easy to take camping.

You might like to solve this conundrum for me, is it best to go first or second when you start this new game?

The scene:

My son and I placed 10 playing cards in a row

“You can use any cards from the pack. It’s easier to spread them out a bit more”

The first player was allowed to turn over any single card they selected. Then the other player could turn over a single card of choice OR two adjoining cards. Then the first player could either turn over a single or two adjoining cards. Continue these options for each player until one or two adjoining cards are left.

The player to turn over the last card wins.

I wonder would the first or second player win?

…and which card is best to turn over at the start to make sure they do win?

Have a trial at home, and come and challenge me

Enjoy,
