That can work, but must not work. It is possible, we had it a couple of times, that 2 ppl get all 6 meteors. There is a rule what meteors you can get. If you have a mark, you can't get the next meteor. Example: If you have mark 1, next you can get is mark 3.

So in worst case, player one get 1, 3, 5 and player two get 2, 4, 6.

As I wrote above, we had this a couple of times.

We had tried different tactics to handle this and the "zigzag" worked in every situation as it meets the rules you can get meteors.
