00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:03.489
Welcome to the grand final of Game On!

2
00:00:03.489 --> 00:00:07.350
Today we have the undefeated game designer
Hannah Nicklin

3
00:00:07.350 --> 00:00:10.240
versus video gamer Emma Blackery, who lost
in her first match

4
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.749
but has just kept coming back since then.

5
00:00:13.749 --> 00:00:16.730
One of them is going home with the Cheap Plastic
Trophy, one of them isn't

6
00:00:16.730 --> 00:00:19.490
and the only way to find out is to play the
game, which is...?

7
00:00:19.490 --> 00:00:20.740
Order and Chaos.

8
00:00:20.740 --> 00:00:24.820
This is a lovely game of strategy. It's pure
strategy.

9
00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:27.960
-- Really pure strategy.
-- Nothing else there, there's no luck involved in this

10
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.820
other than who's going first, so let's see
who that is...

11
00:00:32.780 --> 00:00:36.640
All right. Jeez. Er, I will be... order.

12
00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:38.880
That's what I would've chosen.

13
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.840
-- I know!
-- Yeah, you can tell!

14
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:46.149
So Emma's chosen Order. She has to make a
line of five of any single colour.

15
00:00:46.149 --> 00:00:48.520
She can play whatever colour she wants, red
or blue,

16
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.170
she just has to get a line of five somewhere
on the board.

17
00:00:51.170 --> 00:00:53.600
And that means Hannah is Chaos...

18
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.620
...which means that she has to stop Emma from
winning.

19
00:00:55.620 --> 00:00:57.550
She can try and fill the board up

20
00:00:57.550 --> 00:01:01.200
so that Emma hasn't succeeded in getting a
line of five anywhere.

21
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.869
-- All right.
-- Emma's put her first piece there as blue,

22
00:01:04.869 --> 00:01:08.020
so what Hannah doesn't want to put is a red
piece there,

23
00:01:08.020 --> 00:01:10.549
because that would mean that, no matter what
happens,

24
00:01:10.549 --> 00:01:14.710
you're always going to have a line of two
blues or two reds in the next move.

25
00:01:14.710 --> 00:01:18.760
Right. And it starts to get dangerous when
you get runs of three and four,

26
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:20.310
that are clear on both sides.

27
00:01:20.310 --> 00:01:24.400
Exactly. Once it's a run of four, it's game
over, if it's clear on both sides.

28
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:28.200
As Chaos, as soon as you see three in a row
with nothing on each end,

29
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.650
you have to block that.
-- Yeah, it's a forced move.

30
00:01:30.650 --> 00:01:32.310
And even two in a row is getting dangerous.

31
00:01:32.310 --> 00:01:35.110
Starts to. You start to think ahead, yeah.

32
00:01:35.800 --> 00:01:37.900
I know it's my first actual move and everything,

33
00:01:37.909 --> 00:01:41.409
but I was wondering if I could eliminate areas
of the board by early plays.

34
00:01:41.409 --> 00:01:45.070
Well, one way of doing that is to put an opposite
colour right next to your opponent.

35
00:01:45.070 --> 00:01:48.259
Okay, well that's not too bad. It's a bit
out of the action,

36
00:01:48.259 --> 00:01:51.659
but at least it's not diagonally next to...

37
00:01:56.009 --> 00:01:59.650
So there is a possible run of five there,
but is she... right.

38
00:01:59.650 --> 00:02:01.479
So you block that straight away.

39
00:02:01.479 --> 00:02:05.090
So if I were Emma, I would put one there,
because I feel like that's going to start

40
00:02:05.090 --> 00:02:05.820
to open up some lines.

41
00:02:05.820 --> 00:02:07.400
-- And that's what she's done.
-- Yep.

42
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.170
This is such a complicated game to get your
head around!

43
00:02:10.170 --> 00:02:12.099
You've got to remember that you can play both
colours.

44
00:02:12.099 --> 00:02:15.459
Yeah, it's not like one player's red and one
player's blue like most games.

45
00:02:16.130 --> 00:02:18.030
This is so much harder than I thought it would
be.

46
00:02:18.030 --> 00:02:21.220
Now we've started playing I've started to
realise how hard it is.

47
00:02:21.220 --> 00:02:25.280
I actually am now thinking it's slightly harder
to play as Order.

48
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.790
The big mistake I can make is accidentally
build you something in red.

49
00:02:29.790 --> 00:02:32.230
But it's... I think it's negligible.

50
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:34.200
This is tough.

51
00:02:35.629 --> 00:02:37.669
This is tough...!

52
00:02:42.540 --> 00:02:44.120
I was going to say that Hannah has to play
here,

53
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:45.900
but there are so many possible lines.

54
00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:49.410
And if she plays there, she's starting to
create a red one.

55
00:02:49.410 --> 00:02:56.140
Yeah, it's tricky because obviously what blocks
off one line can actually start creating another line.

56
00:02:57.030 --> 00:02:58.420
It's a solid move.

57
00:02:59.700 --> 00:03:02.860
I wonder if it's more advantageous to stick
to one colour?

58
00:03:02.860 --> 00:03:07.040
No, it's not, Steven... it's not. Oh! Okay.

59
00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:10.640
Does that... make a difference?

60
00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:14.390
'Cos now, presumably... no, Hannah doesn't
have to block that yet, does she?

61
00:03:14.390 --> 00:03:18.599
No, because even if Emma puts in a fourth
blue in the middle there,

62
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:20.440
she can easily block that off at the end,
so...

63
00:03:20.440 --> 00:03:22.819
It's not dangerous because it's not open on
both sides.

64
00:03:22.819 --> 00:03:25.620
No. So all she has to do, really, she can
do it now,

65
00:03:25.620 --> 00:03:29.030
block the right-hand end of that run of what
would be four.

66
00:03:29.030 --> 00:03:31.480
Or look somewhere else on the board entirely,
and try and shut down some lines

67
00:03:31.480 --> 00:03:33.540
that might appear later.
-- Yep.

68
00:03:33.540 --> 00:03:35.080
There's a lot at stake here(!)

69
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.379
I mean, the trophy's engraved.

70
00:03:37.379 --> 00:03:41.090
-- You're making it so much harder!
-- Yep.

71
00:03:41.090 --> 00:03:44.440
You certainly don't want to be blocking off
the middle of that run of four yet

72
00:03:44.440 --> 00:03:46.470
because there's just no point. Looking at
it now,

73
00:03:46.470 --> 00:03:48.030
that would actually be quite a bad move,

74
00:03:48.030 --> 00:03:51.310
because you'd have quite a bit of pressure
on those lines.

75
00:03:51.310 --> 00:03:54.830
That one there horizontally and
that one there vertically.

76
00:03:54.830 --> 00:03:56.260
-- So don't... no!
-- Don't do that!

77
00:03:56.260 --> 00:03:58.569
-- 'Cos if you do that...
-- Other end!

78
00:03:58.569 --> 00:04:01.640
If you do that, you're leaving red lines open.

79
00:04:01.640 --> 00:04:06.540
-- No. Aah!
-- And she's taken her hand off it now...

80
00:04:06.540 --> 00:04:09.769
-- Okay. That...
-- That's dangerous. That's very dangerous.

81
00:04:09.769 --> 00:04:15.709
If Emma plays here, you've got an open-ended
line of three that Hannah has to block,

82
00:04:15.709 --> 00:04:18.400
but there's also an open-ended line of four
she's about to make.

83
00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:20.949
Yeah. I think it might be forced now.

84
00:04:20.949 --> 00:04:24.559
If, if, Emma has spotted it.

85
00:04:24.559 --> 00:04:28.219
She has! She's gone for it. So Hannah has
to block that.

86
00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:32.460
--- I have to block this.
-- Oh, wait...

87
00:04:33.770 --> 00:04:36.999
She doesn't have a choice! This has to be
Emma's victory!

88
00:04:36.999 --> 00:04:39.770
-- 'Cos Hannah has to block that line of three...
-- Yep.

89
00:04:39.770 --> 00:04:43.490
And then Emma's got the line of four.
It's over!

90
00:04:43.490 --> 00:04:45.360
(This is a significant moment.)

91
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:46.780
This is terrifying.

92
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.820
That's it! That's it, it's over. It's over.

93
00:05:03.830 --> 00:05:05.369
I've got a trophy to give!

94
00:05:05.369 --> 00:05:07.949
Ooh, where should I put my...?!

95
00:05:09.210 --> 00:05:10.779
Oh my god, I won a trophy!

96
00:05:10.779 --> 00:05:12.229
Which... do you want it...?

97
00:05:12.229 --> 00:05:13.189
-- I don't care where you put it!
-- You sure?

98
00:05:13.189 --> 00:05:14.889
You can put it wherever you like(!)

99
00:05:14.889 --> 00:05:17.520
You can have it close to you, there you go.
Well done!

100
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:20.220
Yes!

101
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.380
I actually won something! Woo!

102
00:05:23.380 --> 00:05:27.580
-- Congratulations, there you go!
-- I have a cheap plastic trophy!

103
00:05:27.580 --> 00:05:32.180
-- I actually won something!
-- Emma Blackery, you have won Game On, well done!

104
00:05:32.180 --> 00:05:34.100
I've never won anything!

105
00:05:34.100 --> 00:05:38.099
Thank you to Emma, thank you to Hannah, thank
you to Steven, thank you to Katie,
