re: Squid Game (Netflix) Spoilers page 2. Season 2 confirmed

I liked the progression of the games.

Red Light, Green Light was great at setting the tone for the players and predictably (for the organizers) weeding out at least half.

Once the stakes were established, the second game forced each individual player to feel like they're on an island all by themselves, psychologically draining no doubt.

Then the third and fourth game progression was genius, building up a team mentality through tug-of-war only to have it backfire when selecting partners for the marbles game. Also, these games guaranteed only half would advance to the fifth game.

I believe the bridge game was set up to have only a few players survive for the final squid game; they could have adjusted the rows of glass squares to almost guarantee at least a few would make it across but no more than 4 or so. I do wonder though if they really would have destroyed all the glass squares if the last 2-4 players were still on there, which would have ended the game.

Was it ever confirmed through communication of the rules that only one player could win the games? I don't recall hearing it...I assumed that all remaining players that finished the games would split the money. Certainly the last game, squid game, could accommodate that scenario, i.e., team offense or team defense would win with multiple players. But looking at the annual results in the archives it looked like there was only one winner listed per year.

One more thing, one of the VIPs mentioned that the "Korea games were the best this year". Pretty sure that implied that these types of games were going on in other countries?
