      Summary: The graph (non-)planarity game is played on the complete graph \(K_n\) between an Enforcer and an Avoider, each of whom take one edge per round. The game ends when the edges chosen by Avoider form a non-planar subgraph. We show that Avoider can play for \(3n-26\) turns, improving the previous bound of \(3n-28\sqrt n\).
