You and Cobalt walk into the Toy Shop, where a tired\u00a0elf sits on the other side of a game screen from a boisterous coal dwarf.<\/p>\n
“C-8” says the dwarf.<\/p>\n
“…hit” says the elf.<\/p>\n
“And with that, I’ve sunk your fleet again!” says the dwarf while pounding his fist into the table.<\/p>\n
“Winning isn’t everything,” says the elf.<\/p>\n
“That’s right,” laughs the dwarf, “there’s also nothing!”<\/p>\n
“If it is between playing this one game again or nothing,” says the elf, “I choose nothing.”<\/p>\n
“Unless someone wants to take your place, you have to play!” says the dwarf.<\/p>\n
“I’ll play,” says Cobalt.<\/p>\n
“Tis your lucky day, little one. A new challenger awaits!” says the dwarf as he clears his game board.<\/p>\n
The elf sitting across from the coal dwarf winks at you while providing Cobalt a place to sit at the game board.<\/p>\n
“Do you know the rules of the game?” asks the coal dwarf.<\/p>\n
“I know that if I learn your name before you learn mine, I can command you to return to the coal mines and leave these elves alone.” says Cobalt.<\/p>\n
“So it’s a battle of the wits you want, aye?” says the dwarf.<\/p>\n
“Yup,” responds Cobalt,\u00a0“so what is your riddle?”<\/p>\n
“No riddle,” says the dwarf, “just Battlegrid.”<\/p>\n
You notice something unusual about how the elf left the game board.<\/p>\n
