When is the game considered to be in a Closed State?

The game is considered to be in a Closed State when there is something on the Chain. This indicates that the game has reached a point where interactions cannot occur without an action being taken on what is currently present on the Chain. The Chain serves as a critical component of the game mechanics, dictating the flow of gameplay, where effects and interactions are processed in sequence.

Having something on the Chain confirms that there are active effects or spells that need resolution, which inherently means that players cannot take further actions until this processing is completed. Thus, it marks a definitive point in game state where new plays or decisions are influenced by what exists on the Chain, establishing the Closed State as a significant moment in the gameplay dynamics. Understanding this concept is crucial for strategic decision-making and anticipating opponents' moves.
