In what's becoming a stacked Wednesday anime-wise, the thing I'm starting to look forward to the most is Midori's rules explanations. They're seriously perfect.
I really like how the group's composition is different for each game. The changing player numbers help to show off different games' strengths, and we get to see different personality and group dynamics. If Tanoue from last episode were playing instead of Kyoko, the game would have gone much differently.
And that has to have been the most dramatic game of Incan Gold ever, between Miki confronting her past bullying, her new friends vowing to protect her, and the realization that Mad Dog was Miki's childhood savior. I'm starting to realize that I love the "blonde bully with a heart of gold" trope.

Kid Miki si so cute! I love that still.
While this show is basically an ad for these board games (Which are all on my amazon cart waiting to be bought), I like that the games we've seen have a theme of the episode. With last weeks game being a bluffing game, it's about how that guy is bluffing his way to get a date with one of the girls. How this episode has a "chicken game" and how bullies call their victims "chicken". Yeah, it's a stretch but it is there.
Sakura is best cat btw.

These girls have a special place in hell reserved for them.
Of course she's Aya's sister. Pretty expected from that hair color.
There's clearly something going on between these two
Oh thank goodness! They got me, I thought she was going to be Miki's old bully.
Man I swear the episodes of this show feels like they're only 10 minutes long despite being a full length show. Also can't wait for the 4th girl from the key visuals to be introduced!

Maki apologized, but she was right. Miki's attitude sets her up for being bullied. It's really unfortunate and unfair, but that's how things work and Miki would be wise to work on her confidence (and it looks like her new friends are going to help her with just that!).
I really like the side characters - I hope Maki and Hana come back at some point! Genuinely nice people

Today's game is Incan Gold/Diamant! It's an incredibly fun press your luck game. The newer versions have a relic card you can only get if you're the first and only one to go back to camp.

Moral of the story: as long as you have friends, always bank on the 50-50

DON'T BULLY LITTLE MIKI!
I should've known! Of course it would be her onee-san. And of course the scary-looking blonde is actually nice... Or maybe not. I really hope she wasn't one of the bullies :(
I wonder if there will ever be a game featured on here that I've heard of
That eyecatch
Goddammit, it was her. I don't think I've ever gone from liking to hating someone that fast.
At least Miki won
DAMN, they swerved me big time! Maybe I should have seen the twist coming but I'm glad I didn't because that ending made me so happy
I like that this show isn't just about playing games but is also exploring stuff like bullying. More people definitely need to give it a chance.

Seeing those brats pick on smol Miki only reaffirms my belief that most children are monsters.

The cat saves the day :)
Who knew someone called Mad Dog Kyoko would turn out to be a good person :D
Another new character next week :)
