I don't understand.

The game is played over a series of round until someone has a specific number of tokens, right?

And each round ends when someone is the last player remaining and gains a token. Is this post specifically asking the shortest 5-player game? If so, wouldn't that take at least 4 rounds?

And a 2-player game would take 7 rounds?
