Accept his challenge

You sit down confidently. The game begins.

Three hours later, you’re still trying to understand the rules of phase one. The Gatekeeper  as he executes a seventeen-step combo that somehow kills all your units, captures your soul, and retroactively makes you lose the previous two games you didn’t know you were playing.

“Better luck next time,” he sneers, as your consciousness fades.

You’re trapped in the game board forever, a cautionary tale about knowing your own limitations.
