Offense was defense in the 07 game. It was an inherently defensive game (as
I argued back in 07) and every game since has promoted offense. Since the tube scoring was exponential (tubes were scored 2^<number of tubes in a row>) you could easily block opponent's rows with your tubes. So if you put up 2 tubes in the same row on opposite ends of the rack, your opponents can only make rows of 3 for 8pts.
This new game has plenty of rules to limit defense. About 15% of the playing field (the most important scoring areas) is a effectively a "No Defense Zone". We will still see defense but the drivers will have to be careful to avoid penalties, especially the "Pinning 30pt Death Sentence"
