Victory Point Format details

Spoiler Alert!

Each game will end after 4 rounds. 4-player games end after 3 rounds. Whoever has the most points at that time wins the game, regardless of the number of figures remaining on the board (even if one player's army has been completely destroyed).

Ties
In the case of a tie, play one additional round if time allows. If time does not allow or the game is still tied after an additional round, use partial card scoring as the tiebreaker.

Scoring
Scoring is performed at the end of the round, after all end of round effects have been resolved, before the next round begins. Scroll down to the TL;DR to see the point values.

Key Points and Objective Zones
Each map will have at least one "Key Point." The Key Point and all hexes within 2 hexes of that Key Point are called an Objective Zone. These Objective Zones will be used for scoring (see below).

For your army to control an Objective Zone, you must have more points of figures in the Objective Zone (on or within two spaces of the Key Point) than every other opponent does. Wounded heroes count as their full point value.

The Key Points and Objective Zones for each map are TBA.

Example:
caps has Charos with 8 wounds on a Key Point. firewings has 4 Nagrubs in the Objective Zone for that Key Point. Charos is worth 210 points and 4 Nagrubs are worth 46 points, so caps controls the Objective Zone.

TL;DR
Each game will end after 4 rounds. 4-player games will end after 3 rounds. Whoever has the most points at that time wins the game.

Points are scored at the end of every round as follows:

• If you control no zones, you get 0 points.
• If you control more zones than every other player (1st place), you get
  • 4 points at the end of the first round
  • 6 points at the end of the second round
  • 8 points at the end of every subsequent round
• If you control the 2nd-most zones (2nd place), you get
  • 2 points at the end of the first round
  • 3 points at the end of the second round
  • 4 points a the end of every subsequent round
• If you control the 3rd-most zones (3rd place), you get
  • 1 point at the end of the first and second rounds
  • 2 points at the end of every subsequent round
• 4th-most zones (4th place) scores no points

In the case of ties, all tied players (and all players controlling fewer zones than them) move down one "place" in scoring.

So for example

• in the case of a tie for 1st place, all 1st place players would score 2nd place points, all 2nd place players would score 3rd place points, etc.
• in the case of a tie for 2nd place, the 1st place player would score 1st place, all 2nd place players would score 3rd place, etc.
• in the case of a tie for 3 place, 3rd place players would score no points

Due to low attendance for a multiplayer event we decided to cancel this one. We'll do the same format in November.
