The Frequent Cast

• 火风鼎 (The Cauldron): nourishment, momentum, feeding on chances — the 'in-form' hexagram
• 地山谦 (Modesty): balance, respect, low event rate — the tight, respectful contest
• 天雷无妄 (Innocence): surprise, the unexpected — the upset waiting to happen
• 火水未济 (Not Yet Complete): unresolved, late drama — the game that refuses to settle
• 地天泰 (Peace): harmony, flow — a well-matched, open game
• 天地否 (Standstill): blockage, frustration — the game that never opens

Primary and Transformed
