Jury Game (Betting Rock-Paper-Scissors)
Jury game is similar to game "Resistance" with citizens and criminals. Players draw their role: they're either citizens, citizen leader, criminals or criminal boss.
Foreperson for this round appoints jury. All players then vote to approve or disband this jury. If approved, jury then anonymously vote "Guilty" or "Not Guilty". All players must vote Guilty to reach a Guilty verdict; even one dissenter mean a Not Guilty verdict.
Citizens win after reaching 3 "Guilty" and criminals win if they get 3 "Not Guilty" verdicts.
Regular criminals know each other, but don't know identity of their boss. Citizen leader is told who regular criminals are but he also doesn't know crime boss.
Leaders on both sides have to stay secret because if losing team guesses the identity of a leader in opposing team, they win instead.
Dongmin once again takes charge, gathers everyone and tells whoever citizen leader is, to stay put until criminals naturally will reveal themselves. They play three rounds during which Dongmin is interrogating other players 1 by 1 until he announces that he knows identities of all criminals.
Criminals resigned to their fate all gather together. And this is where Yongsuk who is crime boss makes a mistake and joins regular criminals.
Hyunmin looks at five of them and then it clicks. He has won the game. He is the citizen leader who knows identities of all criminals, all of them but the boss. When he sees Yongsuk joining them the last piece slides into place.
He tells other citizens to vote "Not Guilty" so that citizens lose on purpose and at the end they say that lawyer Kang is the criminal leader and win the game 100%, robbing them of even a chance of randomly guessing citizen leader.
Citizens won and now they have to pick first elimination candidate. Dongmin and Hweejong owe Yongsuk a favour so they try to convince other citizens not to pick him. However after consideration they figure that if they pick anyone but Yongsuk he will be picked as opponent either way, because it really was his blunder that led to criminals losing. There is no way for him to evade Deathmatch. If they pick Yongsuk at least he can choose an opponent. They pick Yongsuk and he selects Kyunghoon who looks like an easy mark.
They are playing Betting Rock-Paper-Scissors. Spectators not competing in elimination game choose between rock, paper or scissors.
In each turn of Betting Rock-Paper-Scissors one Deathmatch player is playing against spectator and another one is betting on the outcome of this play. Opponents take turns picking who will be who. Playing opponents' prize is 1 chip in first 4 turns, 2 in in the next 3 and 3 chips in the last 3 turns. Betting player bets on either win or loss and gets amount of his bid or loses it.
To succeed in this game opponents need to know spectators' picks. Lawyer Yongsuk bullies other players saying they should tell him their choices because if they don't and he will survive — he will go after them. He gets full information, while Kyunghoon gets several refusals from Hweejong who owes Yongsuk and several others.
Lawyer Kang Yongsuk takes 2 chip advantage by turn 8 and smartly uses "draw strategy" — knowingly drawing against spectator to deny betting player of any winnings to keep this advantage to the end. Yongsuk wins and eliminates Kyunghoon.
