Only seven most recent bills can be active. Eighth and following bills will push out oldest bills, nullifying them.



Yoonsun picks Yohwan for deathmatch -- her unfortunate partner, note that their team-up falls apart for the third time in a row.

Depending on your personal bill it might make sense to work with one player to ensure synergy with their bills.



She splits off from Sangmin's team and and looks for another player who is able to give her chips and finally find him in Yohwan. Because Yohwan can only give chips, his only hope is to guarantee win for other player who will then give him token of life. Yoonsun can get extra wild cards with Yohwan's ability but they can't figure out a way to guarantee a sure way to win with that. Jinho who is also outside of Sangmin's team figures out clever way how to cash in on Yoonsun-Yohwan's synergy ''potentially'' earning all three of them infinite (!) number of chips.

From that moment on it's all over for minority team. Doohee The Assassin continues to take away their chips until the end. Jinho escapes Deathmatch at the last moment using a quirk in his personal bill and leaves Yoonsun alone with zero points. She is elimination candidate and she picks Yohwan -- her unfortunate partner (NB: their team-up falls apart for the third time in a row).

* {{Foreshadowing}}: once again, we hear about celebrity-non celebrity split among the players, when Yoonsun says that TV personalities Hongchul and Jiwon who are at the time outside of majority team are getting isolated based on that (to force them to oppose the bill banning signs and vetoes). Next episode, this growing split will result in the most controversial Genius episode ever.

As Yoyoung's team grows and they reach comfortable majority, they start thinking about a bill to ban all signing and vetoing so that they can push through any bill they want from then on with majority voting. Yoonsun who is technically inside that majority doesn't want this, because her personal bill gives her wild card each time she receives a chip and if singing and vetoing is forbidden then wild cards become useless.

Yoonsun's personal bill is that she gets a new wild card each time she receives a chip. Thus she needs to find another player who is able to give out his chips and it happens to be Yohwan. Because Yohwan can only give chips, his only hope is to guarantee win for other player who will then give him token of life. Yoonsun can get extra wild cards with Yohwan's ability but they can't figure out a way to guarantee a sure way to win with that.

Yoonsun finds herself outside of the big alliance because her bill can only work with Yohwan's. Jinho who is also outside of Sangmin's team figures out clever way how to cash in on Yoonsun-Yohwan's synergy ''potentially'' earning all three of them infinite (!) number of chips.

However to do that they have to push two new bills. To do that, they have to get rid of other's team's wild cards so that they can sign their bills unopposed with Yoonsun's wild cards. They propose a bill that they know everyone there will be against luring out their 4 wild cards for vetoes (Yoonsun's team can only sign 3 times because there are only three of them).

Sangmin's alliance counteracts that with the bill that forbids signing and vetoing. Despite Yoonsun's team putting out three vetoes it passes through. How did Sangmin's team managed to sign four times when they only had 2 wild cards remaining? They used a caveat which allows to sign or veto at the expense of voters's chips. Sangmin and Jiwon burn their chips and push the bill through.

Deathmatch is Laser Chess, rather spectacular looking set in the hall with giant pieces with mirrors on them. Each players left "rook" emits laser beam. The goal is to move and rotate pieces until enemy "king" is cut down by the laser.

Sangmin partners up with Yoyoung who starts building an alliance. She finds out that Doohee personal bill allows him to take away chip from any player each time new bill is approved and she appoints him as the "assasin" of the team. From that moment on Doohee snipes at the enemies of the Sangmin-Yoyoung alliance taking away their chips one by one.

Jinho and Doohee come in first and they spend some time looking for token of immortality. They find safe behind the shelf in garage room but it requires 6 digit code to open. So they cover it again and come back to hall just in time to greet other players.

7 commandments is a role game similar to Food Chain where players randomly draw roles (personal bills) with vastly different goals. One personal bill may require player to get rid off his chips and another will require them to have all chips of the same colour to grant bonus points.

Depending on your personal bill it might make sense to work with one player to ensure synergy with their bills.

Players receive 5 randomly coloured chips (red, blue, green and yellow) and a stack of global bills with with blank spaces in them, like "players with chip of ??? colour have to discard them immediately" or "each time global bill is approved it's author gets chip of ??? colour" and many others.

The goal is to propose bills that are beneficial to your personal end game. When one proposes global bill, everyone votes on it. If there are more people approving the bill than opposing it -- it comes into effect. However players can also use wild card to elevate voting process onto higher level. With wild card voter can either ''sign'' or ''veto'' the bill. Similarly, if there are more signs over vetoes the bill is approved.

Each player gets 1 wild card at the start and various bills can grant you more wild cards along the way. Also if needed, player can sign or veto without wild card but all his/her chips will be taken away in result.

Yohwan who despite his meager ''Genius'' skills as evidenced by his results, is still the best Starcraft player in the world and he feels much better in 1 on 1 strategic game. He wins the game and eliminates lawyer Yoonsun.

!!Tropes:
* ChessMotifs: Laser Chess
* EurekaMoment: Jinho when he figures out a way to make Yoonsun and Yohwan synergy work to potentially earn infinite chips.
