In a 3-player game at 7 victory points, what are the win conditions for reaching 8 VPs, particularly regarding battlefield control and conquering?

Ruling: To win the 8th point by conquering when at 7 points, you must score on ALL battlefields in a single turn. Holding battlefields at the start of your turn always gives you the 8th point with no restrictions.

Sequence:

• If at 7 points and you control battlefields at start of turn (holding), you win the 8th point normally
• If at 7 points and you want to win by conquering during your turn, you must conquer on all 3 battlefields in that single turn
• Other methods of gaining points have no restrictions

Nuances:

• Conquering while at 7 points without conquering all battlefields gives you a draw instead of a point
• The restriction only applies to conquering, not to holding
