The number of rounds that can be played is given by the product of three
and the least number of tokens a player has at the start.
Response;
Reasons for arriving at the above value;
A round is when the player with the most tokens gives one token to each of the other players, and one placed in the discard pile, we have;
First three round
17 - 3 = 14
16 + 1 = 17
15 + 1 = 16
17 - 3 = 14
14 + 1 = 15
16 + 1 = 17
17 - 3 = 14
14 + 1 = 15
15 + 1 = 16
The above values follow a number series such that we have;
Fourteenth three rounds
4 - 3 = 1
2 + 1 = 3
3 + 1 = 4
4 - 3 = 1
1 + 1 = 2
3 + 1 = 4
4 - 3 = 1
2 + 1 = 3
1 + 1 = 2
Fifteenth three rounds
3 - 3 = 0
1 + 1 = 2
2 + 1 = 3
3 - 3 = 0
0 + 1 = 1
2 + 1 = 3
3 - 3 = 0
0 + 1 = 1
1 + 1 = 2
Therefore, after the fifteenth three rounds, which is 15 × 3 = 45 rounds Ava runs out of token, ending the game.
