Hi everyone,

I'm pretty confused about how dominance works. I'd like to understand it better, since it's 50% of the points.

Could someone explain it to me? (preferably with math?)

Suppose we have a small board with 10 lands, and 4 players, A, B, C and D.

A has 4 lands
B has 3 lands
C has 2 lands
D has 1 land.

Suppose these players do nothing for rounds 1 and 2, just ending turn.

It's now round 3, which is when Dominance starts, as I understand it.

A begins his turn. He moves and takes away one land from B.

A B C D : 5 2 2 1

Question 1: What is the dominance now?

Suppose B moves and takes away 2 lands from A, and 1 from C.

A B C D : 3 5 1 1

Question 2: What is the dominance now?

Suppose C moves and takes away 4 lands from B.

A B C D : 3 1 5 1

Question 3: What is the dominance now?

Suppose D ends turn.

A B C D : 3 1 5 1

Question 4: What is the dominance now?

Suppose A ends turn.

A B C D : 3 1 5 1

Question 5: What is the dominance now?

Suppose B ends turn.

A B C D : 3 1 5 1

Question 6: What is the dominance now?

Suppose C eliminates B, taking his one land.

A B C D : 3 0 6 1

Question 7: What is the dominance now?

Thanks :)

I remember saying that but I cannot remember the context of that conversation at all.

Thankfully, ignorance is bliss. :D
