Train of Thought is the sixth episode of The Genius IV.
Main Match[]
Train of Thought: Each player is given a train network with several junctions. First, each player chooses which junction to assign to each player, including themselves. Then, every player chooses whether to turn the train left or right at their junction on each player's network. At the end of the match, the trains proceed down the tracks according to everyone's decisions; two tracks give a number, and one a mathematical operation. These are combined into a mathematical expression. The player with the highest-valued expression wins a Token of Life, whereas the player with the lowest-valued expression becomes the Elimination Candidate.

Death Match[]
Spangles: Each player receives 25 equilateral triangles in their color. Players alternate placing triangles on the board, side-touching-side. The game ends when a larger 4-piece triangle is formed with the same color pieces at the tips, and either color in the center. The player whose pieces are at each tip wins.
