Draft states head-to-head. Real numbers decide.
Best of 5 vs the AI. Each round names a category — draft 3 states, highest total wins. Values stay hidden until the reveal.
Play vs the AI →5 rounds, 5 picks each. After every round a hidden category scores that round’s picks. Win the most rounds to take the map.
Claim the map →5 rounds. In each round you and the AI alternate picks — 5 states each. You pick first. No timer.
Each round has its own hidden scoring category, kept secret while you pick. You're drafting blind — grab states you think are strong all-round.
At the end of each round its category is revealed and your 5 picks are totaled against the AI's 5. Higher total takes the round (lowest wins for a few categories, like poverty).
Win the most of the 5 rounds to control the map. A tied round awards no point to either side.
