The Odd Scoring Game is a strategic mathematical puzzle that combines position-based movement with parity theory (even/odd numbers). Players must think ahead to control whether the total steps taken will be even or odd to determine victory.
- Starting Position: Your character begins at the highest numbered cell
- Movement: Choose to move 1, 2, or 3 spaces toward position 0 each turn
- Direction Rule: You can only move toward 0 - no backwards movement
- Game End: Game ends when any player reaches cell 0
- Victory: Win if total steps taken is EVEN, lose if ODD
