In Gyul Hap, the players were given boards and had to find the sets.

Dr. Brand won this game.

Arimaa was a chess variant with animals. Each animal had the same movement rules, and pieces were captured by pushing or pulling them onto special trap squares.

Paul Atreides won this game, evening it up 1-1.

The final game was Indian Poker. Each player was dealt a card, but they could only see what card their opponent had. They then had to bet on who had the higher card.

Paul Atreides won this game as well, winning The Genius: First Encounter!
