Math was never my strength, so maybe I’m needlessly stumped by this basic issue of arithmetic. I read on the Ancient Med rules page that 18 centers are needed for a win, as that is a basic majority. However, by my count (remember I’m bad at math, so...) there are a total of 33 SCs in ancient med. Thus, a basic majority would be 17. So, I figure three possibilities:
1. I’m counting wrong
2. The total required to win is 17, not 18, and the rule site I read is wrong
3. The total required to win is 18, one more than a basic majority, just to make it harder and more fun?
But after lots of reading and using my best counting abilities, I’m stumped.
Can anyone enlighten me further?
