We should be covering Chess, Thai Chess, Chinese Chess, some variations of these chess being played in Thailand and possibly some card games.

- The final episode on Chinese Chess. The last variation was called Half-board, because it only took half-board to play. This must be a frustrating experience for Boy as he had to reveal his every move, while the situation was getting worse with each play. Of course, at the same time, Chai must be speaking in his mind about how much luck he had bagged on this episode.
