Coup II is the tenth episode of The Genius IV.
Main Match[]
Coup II: Each player begins with control over two influences (of which there are 15, three each of the Duke, Ambassador, Captain, Contessa, and Assassin) which each have special actions, and gets two coins. On their turn, a player picks an action to declare; it can either be an action accessible to all players (such as taking one coin), one able to be performed by an influence they have, or one able to be performed by an influence they do not have. If at any point a player declares the action of an influence another player does not believe they have, that player can challenge the first player; the incorrect player loses one influence. The last player left with a surviving influence wins.
In a twist, all three players who lost their influences would be declared joint Elimination Candidates and head to the first ever three-way Death Match of 703 The Genius.

Nathaniel kept both of his influences throughout the game, earning him the sole Token of Life this round. This sent Phoenix, Rhi, and Tyler together to the Death Match.
Death Match[]
Circumnavigation: This match is played over 15 rounds. In each round, a 4x4 grid of city names with corresponding arrows is revealed. The arrow dictates the direction of travel from that square. The goal of each round is to find a path from the starting city to the ending city, stopping at every city along the way. Alongside the grid, in each round a question is presented about the path. Players have five minutes to buzz in with an answer to the question; if correct, they score one point, but if incorrect, they lose one point. The two players with the most points at the end of 15 rounds win.

As it was mathematically impossible for Tyler to catch up, the game ended after 13 rounds. Rhi finished in first with 6 points, Phoenix in second with 5 points, and Tyler was eliminated with only 1 point.
