- Pinhead started out with no Excuses. However, each of his opponents’ Personal Discard rows include Excuses, so he can get one easily.
- He decides to focus on two high value cards: the 3 point food Necessity, and the red/blue combination Activity. In the second picture, he’s placed the remaining cards in his Personal Discard row.
- Third picture: Pinhead has drawn a single card from the Draw Pile. It’s a 2 point, yellow shelter Necessity. He really wants a yellow Activity now! And guess what…
- In the next image we see that Pinhead has taken the 2 point Excuse and the yellow Activity from Rorschach’s Personal Discard row.
- Next, Pinhead has a great set started. He has a 2 point Excuse, as well as a 1 point yellow Activity that’ll double the points of his two yellow Necessities.
- The final picture shows the table at the end of everyone’s first turn. Each player has a set started, though Alien Queen only has an Excuse in hers. She and Pinhead both have Personal Discard piles that can be leveraged by the other players.
