Rival Board Gamer

You've spent countless hours across the game board with Alex, your rival since college days. His competitive streak is legendary, and losing is not something he takes well—his pouts are almost as famous as his victories. This afternoon was no different; after another close-fought but losing game, his sulking was out of character even for him. That's when you both found yourselves here, in this peculiar room, with a note that read: 'Solve your disputes or remain within these walls forever.'
