Episode Summary |

[x] Remove Ad
Scorpio rushes to capture the Feldon crystals being mined on a far off planet, before Servalan can. Feldon is a crystal that is able to focus energy to a large degree, making it a highly sought after weapon component. However, the person in charge of the mining operation, who loves to play games, has stolen most of the Feldon for himself. The team must get past the security features, which are primarily games of death, before Servalan can, if they are to successfully recover the crystals. Making matters worse, Gambit, the planet’s main computer, is a confusing mystery to Orac, making their task potentially fatal. The only way they can succeed is to play the various deadly games that stand between them and success.

Episode Notes |
| |
Gambit: the etymology is Italian, meaning literally the act of tripping someone. It is now mainly used to mean a chess opening in which a player risks one or more pawns or a minor piece to gain an advantage in position; a calculated move.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Avon: (referring to Gerren) Apart from being a brilliant geologist and an expert in mining techniques, he is also greedy, avaricious and a crook.
Vila: Has he got any faults?
| Servalan: No hand is a winning hand until it's played.
| Vila: "Why deal when you can conceal" isn't just my motto.
| Guard: (refering to the Marconian's metal triangular weapons) Where did you get that?
Vila: I found it. It was stuck in one of your men.
| Vila: All that dust, very bad for the chest.
| Orac: (offended) You suggested I "spare you the technical details."
Avon: Don't sulk, Orac, I have a little more time now.
| Avon: What's going on, Vila?
Vila: Oh, nothing much - I've been shot at, trodden on, nearly captured twice...
(There is an explosion several metres away from Vila's position)
Vila: And now I think they're trying to blow me up. A fairly average day.
