With this death match, the trick is to make sure that your opponent "trades" before you. Also to trade cards that he has already put down with players he has yet to trade with. if that makes sense

Unfortunately, I had to start trading first, on my 3rd card. Which worried me a bit, but it worked out. Ultimately, I knew he had a 0 black and a high Green and he was going to have to keep trading one of them, so I just traded everything so he couldn't block me. The last trade was a gamble, but one in my favor - I could've taken any one of 4 cards not yet revealed, and he was left with only 1 possibility. Thankfully, Player 5 had one of those 4 cards.
WOrked out, though. He did a great job - I was scared for a bit.

I have a bad feeling Adam gave green numbers to Nyx. Lolz. But he must've gotten some from Rachael, too, so... no idea.

I don't think so..I think he got 2 green numbers from someone. Am I right in assuming that his "blue" cards in the sequence are meant to be green. If so, he had 12 of them at the start

Blue cards are numbers from the blue deck. His black cards are his green cards, which are multiplication signs.

He never had the green multiplication signs....you bought the green cards, and gave him the numbers. You kept the green multiplication signs for yourself remember? Adam gave you the Red multiplication signs, and you have all the grey numbers.

This makes no sense to me....He must have given away all the green numbers you gave him...

Exactly. But now he has green multiplication signs and blue numbers. The trade itself isn't worrisome... I'm more concerned that Nyx got all the high green numbers. But maybe it was Rachael. I guess we'll see when their turns are up. Either way, should be easy to beat Misty, so not a huge concern.

...he could have told us that this is what he was doing.
The blue numbers, the deck that I bought, there was 1x8 and 1x7 , the rest of the numbers were low. He must have traded with more than one person to end up with 12 blue numbers made up from 8/7/5. I reckon he also bought one himself. We'll see when the new garnet count is announced

I'm just annoyed because I would've kept my 10s and all that good stuff if I knew he was doing that. I gave him the greens, not Nyx and/or Rachael.
And yeah, looks like he traded with both Rachael and Nyx at some point. So it's a matter of who got what. But we'll see. That said, it's now a real possibility that Nyx has 4 10s, 4 9s, and 4 8s.

Nyx only had 9 garnets to start with. I don't think nyx and rachael would be alligned. Adam had 2x8 in his cards, so he would have needed to change with 2 players who bought the blue deck, unless he also bought one himself. There is one thing I can't get my round...There is NO 5 in the blue deck. So how can Adam have had one from one of his blue cards? We were told that all decks were the same.

My guess: Nyx now has 4 10s, 4 9s, 4-8 8s, or 4 7s, 2 blue x's and 2 grey x's. She most certainly bought green and blue packs - kept the green numbers, gave blue numbers to Adam. It's possible Rachael has the 8s, though.
Luckily I'm at the end - fingers crossed that Rachael somehow beats both Adam and Nyx, but it's not likely. See what happens and play it from there. If he wanted to stay in the middle... that's kind of why I asked if he was sure he wanted the green cards. :\

still doesn't explain how he ended up with a 5 in his blue cards....
I'll also be a bit pissed if he gave my idea of "throwaway" cards to nyx

Oh... you're right about the no 5s in the blue deck. I'm confused now.
I was gonna say he probably traded 8s and the 7 with Rachael for her blue deck, but he also got rid of his - and division symbols for all + (Rachael may have bought blue and red decks?).
