knights and mages game/riddle

[Dracan]

i won second try and he won't play with me anymore, i thought it was fun. the only strategy was listen to him when he criticized me for playing something too early and take his suggestions on what i should of played. mostly it was just deductive reasoning about can a drunken smith take a knight on a camel..... which means it was lucky guesses

Yea I have no idea what is going on with this. I have tried it a few times and not understanding what the point is.

Both games are basically identical. The first time you always loose. But you get to know the magic word. In Verona it is the Royal Executioner, in Debir (or Uzala) it is different from game to game. The next time you play the first one to say the magic word wins. The point is to find the right time to finish the game and use the magic word. If you wait too long, the opponent says it and wins, if you wait too short you win but you probably could have earned more. So basically it is about who "chickens out" first.
Another thing: What you select before the magic word does not matter at all.

I really wonder why they implemented this. It's stupid and confusing.

It's an easy way to win something like 3.5k gold Not a bad option to use as a last resort if you lack the money.
