Map takeover

Instead of rows, the board sells places — countries, cities, regions — usually shown on a map. A place is held until someone pays a multiple of what the current holder paid, which prices scarcity into the geography itself.

The multiple matters enormously: 1.5× produces churn, 2× or more produces a board where the early buyers are effectively unassailable.

Boards are filed under this rule when their own copy matches a published phrase list. The matched phrase is printed in each board’s evidence ledger, so the classification can be checked rather than taken on faith.
