Can You Solve The Race To 32,768 Riddle? MAGICAL Solution

On a table are nine face-up cards. Each card displays a different number from the list: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512. Alice and Bob alternately take turns. Each picks a single card on a turn, and Alice goes first. Once a card is chosen it cannot be selected again. The game ends when someone wins or all the cards have been selected. The winner is the first person to collect a set of 3 cards with a product of 32,768. If neither player does this, the game ends in a draw. If both play optimally, does either player have a winning strategy? Or does the game always end in a draw? How should you play this game? Watch the video for a solution.\r
