In a 3+ player game, how does chain priority work during a showdown between two non-adjacent players?

Ruling: Priority always passes in turn order following whoever got priority first. In a showdown between players 1 and 3, player 2 receives priority after player 1 (before player 3) because they are the next player in turn order.

Sequence:

  • Player 1 initiates showdown with player 3
  • Player 1 gets priority first
  • Player 2 receives Focus next as the next turn player
  • Priority continues in turn order
