Not many stars were gained at the beginning of this game, this was due to Kris and David constantly landing on happening spaces which moved players back to previous spaces. The input delay affected the timing of jumping over the snowballs that the snowman tossed, which would normally be incredibly easy to dodge in local play. Kris made an enormous comeback this game. During the first ten turns or so, he was at a grand total of zero stars. However, he purchased and received a plethora of great items that helped him ease ahead.
