To score the 8th point and win, do you need to conquer both battlefields in one turn or hold one on your next turn, or do you need to hold both at the start of your turn?
Ruling: To win via your 8th point by conquering, you must conquer all battlefields on the same turn. However, you can also win by holding a battlefield at the start of your turn, which counts as scoring on your turn and has no restriction.
Sequence:
- If you have 7 points when your opponent passes turn and you're holding a battlefield, you'll score your 8th point and win immediately
- If you have 6 points when your opponent passes turn and you're holding a battlefield, you'll go to 7 points, then can conquer the second battlefield to score your 8th and win
- If you have 7 points when your opponent passes turn and have no units at battlefields, you must conquer both battlefields in the same turn to win
Nuances:
- The restriction on scoring the 8th point only applies to conquering (must take all battlefields in one turn); holding has no such restriction
