Mount Expression

''' is the seventh episode of '.

Main Match
Mount Expression: Each player begins at the bottom of a three-tiered mountain. In each tier is a 7x7 grid upon which paths can be placed to dictate each player's course up the mountain. The game takes place over 6 rounds; players perform two actions each round. Actions include creating a path, removing an existing path, or passing. When ascending the mountain at the end of Rounds 2, 4, and 6, each player begins by moving up, then turning at and following any horizontal path they encounter. Once each player has moved up a tier, they arrive at the base of the next tier; the space they land on will give them a number (on the first and third tiers) or an operation (on the second tier) to form a mathematical expression. The player with the highest-evaluated expression wins a Token of Life, while the player with the lowest-evaluated expression becomes the Elimination Candidate.

Partway through the match, Morgan received his third strike for inactivity, and thus was removed from the competition. The Main Match continued on as usual.

With a score of only 9, Wendy won a Token of Life; they chose to give their second Token of Life to Blake. Dean, with a score of -1500, was the Elimination Candidate. He chose to face Hedger in the Death Match.

Death Match
Apocalypse: This chess-like match is played on a 5x5 grid, with each player starting with two knights and five pawns. Unlike in chess though, moves are performed simultaneously. If the movement and capture actions can be performed together, without conflict, they are performed. If two of the same piece move to the same square, they are both removed; if a knight and a pawn move to the same square, the knight captures the pawn. A pawn moved to the last row is promoted to a knight, unless that player still has both knights in play, in which case the pawn must be dropped on any empty square on the board. The first player to lose all their pawns loses.

Hedger managed to hold on to one pawn while capturing all of Dean's, eliminating the latter.
