How does the engine handle ties in initiative scores?

Ties are resolved using a prioritized list of tie-breaking rules provided in the `resolve_round_one` tool. The engine applies these rules sequentially until the tie is broken.

What is the difference between 'fixed' and 'shifted' modes?

In 'fixed' mode, the turn order remains identical to Round 1 for all subsequent rounds. In 'shifted' mode, the player who went last in the previous round starts the next one.

How can I ensure my player data is compatible with my tie-breaking rules?

You can use the `validate_player_data` tool. It checks if the player profiles contain the necessary metadata (like age) required by your specific tie-breaking rules.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides a deterministic engine for calculating turn orders in board games. It handles the initial determination of order in Round 1 using initiative scores and a hierarchy of tie-breaking rules, such as age or dealer position. It also manages subsequent rounds using fixed or shifted round-robin sequences. Use resolve_round_one to establish the first turn order, generate_round_sequence to plan future rounds, and validate_player_data to ensure player profiles meet the requirements for your chosen tie-breaking logic.
