Please pardon me if this is the wrong forum, I am new to everything Redemption...

My question is how would multiplayer (3-way, 4-way, etc) work for Redemption, provided it was free-for-all of course. I know how it works for Magic and Yu-ghi-oh, but this game is baffling me in that aspect. Thanks in advance!

It works like a standard game. You go around the table taking turns, first to 5 wins. You can play dominants at any time to stop opponents, or use things like Unholy Writ to manipulate you winning.

But like Pol said, it's pretty dumb because it's generally just tossing lost souls around the table.

Wow... multiplayer has taken some serious backlash since I left. Considering you're a new member, definitely try multiplayer. it's a ton of fun, especially playing with a couple friends.

Basically, you go clockwise taking turns. Your turn goes like normal, except you get to choose who you attack. Other opponent's you're NOT attacking can't block for that person or play enhancements on his characters, but they can play dominants or activate artifacts. You can only rescue a lost soul from the territory of the person you attacked.

We have two-headed giant format as well. It's much better than Multiplayer.

Type 1 multi is a terrible category, defense matters so little in it, and so much of it is simply luck and table position.  Type II multi on the other hand, can be quite amazing.
