Trying on the guidelines right here is appears shedding all of your life factors doesn’t imply you’ve got robotically misplaced.

Guidelines to counsel this.

The participant with probably the most Victory factors wins

and

A participant who loses their final Life level on the Life tracker dies and
leaves the sport.

I am not satisfied ‘leaves the sport’ is similar as ‘misplaced’. particularly as a rating continues to be caluble. It appears to be like for those who marker reaches finish of life tracker then that’s -20 factors and never elimination.

When you take a look at the life tracker picture the cranium is in the identical house as -20, the others are all distinctly separate.

This nevertheless is contradicted by this BGG discussion board query. One of many solutions refers to a designer diary that recommendations many publishers did not like participant elimination.
