How it works
A standard Riftbound game uses a Victory Score of 8 points. Reaching that number is not enough if another opponent has the same score: you must also have more points than every opponent when the game checks for a winner. If players are tied at or above the Victory Score, play continues.
The point that would reach the Victory Score has an extra restriction only when it comes from Conquering a Battlefield. You must have Scored every Battlefield that turn. If you have not, you draw a card instead of gaining that point.
The 2v2 team mode normally uses a shared Victory Score of 11 points.
