      I’ve always seen it as a “take turns at being the guesser, and whoever does best wins” kind of game. If you take six goes and your opponent takes seven, then taste that sweet victory.

      A digression, but the “viking chess” game Hnefatfl basically guarantees a win for white as written. So you need to mix it up - play two games, see who wins fastest; or constrain it like backgammon, roll dice and that’s the moves you must make.

        Do you mean working with two boards in parallel? Or sequentially, so that basically you write down scores? Either way, it makes a bit more sense like that, yes.
