Main Match
Fuji Flush: This game is played with 90 cards, numbered from 2 to 20 of varying quantities. On a player’s turn, they must play one card from their hand. If that card is higher in value to any cards in play, those cards are flushed, meaning they are discarded for no score and their opponent draws a replacement. However, if two or more cards currently in play have the same value, all instances of that card are added together to form their value. If a player begins their turn with a card still in play (i.e. it was not flushed), the card is discarded, they draw a replacement, and a point is scored. All cards of an equal value to that card in play are discarded as well and score the person that played them 1 point. The player who scores 5 points first wins a Token of Life, while the player with the fewest points at that point becomes the Elimination Candidate.

Nathaniel and Tyler simultaneously reached 5 points, earning both of them a Token of Life. Phoenix, Pory, and Rhi all finished with 4 points and came in joint last. While Tyler wanted to pick Phoenix as the Elimination Candidate, Nathaniel was steadfast on saving him; as such, the winners chose Pory as the EC. Pory then chose Rhi as his Death Match opponent.

Death Match
Russian Janggi: This game takes place on a 4x4 grid, and each player begins with three pieces in each of four sizes (small, medium, large, and extra large). On a player's turn, they can put an unplaced piece on an empty space on the grid, move one of their pieces already on the grid, or can move any piece to cover another piece. A piece can cover another if it is strictly larger than it. The first player to have four pieces of their color form a straight line vertically, horizontally, or diagonally wins.

Rhi was able to achieve four in a row first, earning her the victory and eliminating Pory.
