Five Fronts

Beat as many of the 16 opponents as you can. You play all of them at once with the same placement, so you are not looking for the best split, you are looking for the split that beats the most people.

Tokens still in hand

20

Each field is worth

30
50
10
20
40

All 20 must go down. You meet every opponent with this one placement.

Today’s board

Duels won, best first

Nobody with an account has finished this one today. Make one and your name goes up here. Guests still count towards the standings, they just have no name to show.

Five Fronts

Beat as many of the 16 opponents as you can. You play all of them at once with the same placement, so you are not looking for the best split, you are looking for the split that beats the most people.

  1. Put all 20 tokens on the 5 fields.A field is worth what its number says. Whoever puts more tokens on it takes that weight, and an exact tie means neither of you does.
  2. Commit.The same placement is then played against all 16 opponents at once. You beat an opponent by taking more total weight than they did.
  3. Look at what beat you.Here is the thing people get wrong. There is no best answer. Spreading evenly loses to somebody who abandons two fields and swamps three. Swamping three loses to somebody who spread. You are guessing what they will do, not solving it.

Scored on duels won.

What the words mean

A token:
one of your 20. All of them must be placed, and none of them can be held back
Weight:
the total value of the fields you took in one duel. More weight than your opponent wins it
A duel:
your placement against one opponent's. You fight all of them at once with the same placement
The opponents:
the 16 placements you are up against. On a daily they are dealt from the date, each playing a habit real people play; in a lobby they are your friends
