Turn VP vs Game VP

Post by MrLongleg »

On the top right of the screen I see turn VP and game VP. For some reason turn VP is always higher than game VP. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

No, turn VP is a one time VP count, game VP is cumulative of all the turns.

So, if game VP is cumulative, it should be higher than the turn VP. I'm not sure I understand your logic, NotOne?

No, because you have positive and negative VPs, so it can be lower. You could have turn vps of -1, -1, -1, -1, and 3, and the cumulative VP would be -1, but the turn VP would be 3 on the last turn.

it depends on each turn you might get a positives number one turn and then lose a bunch the next
