Answer

Ruling: Scoring is a specific term in Riftbound that only occurs at Battlefields through Hold (controlling a Battlefield during Beginning Phase) or Conquer (gaining Control of a Battlefield you didn't Score this turn). Gaining victory points through other means is not considered Scoring.

Sequence:

  • Each Battlefield can only be Scored by a player once per turn
  • If gaining Control of a Battlefield already Scored this turn, you cannot score it and do not Conquer it
  • For the Final Point (8th point), if Scoring through Hold, you win immediately
  • For the Final Point, if Scoring through Conquer, you must have Scored every Battlefield that turn (both Hold and Conquer count)
  • If Conquering for the Final Point without having Scored all Battlefields, you draw a card instead of gaining the point

Nuances:

  • The Final Point can be gained through cards and effects that give points without Scoring (like Burn Out, Ahri)
  • You can take an empty battlefield for the last point if you controlled/scored the other battlefield that turn, fulfilling the "scored on all battlefields" requirement
