The board was set up in a formation of the general’s choice, and there were dice to roll to decide what cards to draw for moves. The winner is decided by either wiping out all of the opponent’s pieces except the general, or defeating the ‘war council,’ which were just the spec

Ivy and Mia sat a few feet away from us, watching as we settled to play the game.

Renee's expression changed as she looked at Toph, chuckling lightly, "Playing games all day long… Be careful not to let it consume you!" "Renee, you don't understand!"

“What’s going to happen?” “He’ll probably be here for a few days, and then my parents will take him home and try to get him into rehab again. This is another reason why I didn’t bring him up, Quinn,” Archer says, and the emotion in his voice kills me. “This happens over and over, and this won’t be the last time.” The microwave beeps in the background. “Anyway, I looked up robot fights while I was waiting and I have to say it’s pretty fucking cool.” “It is!
