The Tribute Paying Process in Grand

In Grand, the responsibility of paying tribute falls on the players who lose each round. The specific rules for tribute payment depend on the outcome of the round. In the case of a double loss, where both opponents finish last, the last-place player gives 1 card to the winner of the larger tribute. The third-place player gives 1 card to the other winner. In a single loss, the last-place player only gives 1 card to the first-place winner.

How It Works in Gameplay

After a round is completed, the players determine the order of finish. The last-place player then gives their highest card to the first-place winner. This process continues for double losses, with the third-place player also giving a card to the other winner. The impact of tribute is immediate, as it can significantly alter the balance of power between teams.
