The Maker-Breaker resolving game is a game played on a graph $G$ by Resolver and Spoiler. The players taking turns alternately in which each player selects a not yet played vertex of $G$. The goal of Resolver is to select all the vertices…
We study biased Maker-Breaker games on a graph system $\{G_1,\ldots,G_s\}$, in which Maker's goal is to claim certain rainbow structures, i.e., specified subgraphs consisting of at most one edge from each graph $G_i$. We consider the…
In classical Maker-Breaker games on graphs, Maker and Breaker take turns claiming edges; Maker's goal is to claim all of some structure (e.g., a spanning tree, Hamilton cycle, etc.), while Breaker aims to stop her. The standard question…
We study the biased $(1:b)$ Maker--Breaker positional games, played on the edge set of the complete graph on $n$ vertices, $K_n$. Given Breaker's bias $b$, possibly depending on $n$, we determine the bounds for the minimal number of moves,…
In this paper we analyze biased Maker-Breaker games and Avoider-Enforcer games, both played on the edge set of a random board $G\sim \gnp$. In Maker-Breaker games there are two players, denoted by Maker and Breaker. In each round, Maker…
By now, the Maker-Breaker connectivity game on a complete graph $K_n$ or on a random graph $G\sim G_{n,p}$ is well studied. Recently, London and Pluh\'ar suggested a variant in which Maker always needs to choose her edges in such a way that…
Let $d(x,y)$ denote the length of a shortest path between vertices $x$ and $y$ in a graph $G$ with vertex set $V$. For a positive integer $k$, let $d_k(x,y)=\min\{d(x,y), k+1\}$ and $R_k\{x,y\}=\{z\in V: d_k(x,z) \neq d_k(y,z)\}$. A set $S…
We study Maker--Breaker total domination game played by two players, Dominator and Staller, on the connected cubic graphs. Staller (playing the role of Maker) wins if she manages to claim an open neighbourhood of a vertex. Dominator wins…
We study the $(p,q)$-Maker Breaker Crossing game introduced by Day and Falgas Ravry in 'Maker-Breaker percolation games I: crossing grids'. The game described in their paper involves two players Maker and Breaker who take turns claiming p…
We consider a biased version of Maker-Breaker domination games, which were recently introduced by Gledel, Ir{\v{s}}i{\v{c}}, and Klav{\v{z}}ar. Two players, Dominator and Staller, alternatingly claim vertices of a graph $G$ where Dominator…
We study the (1:b) Maker-Breaker component game, played on the edge set of a d-regular graph. Maker's aim in this game is to build a large connected component, while Breaker's aim is to not let him do so. For all values of Breaker's bias b,…
We study the Maker-Breaker tournament game played on the edge set of a given graph $G$. Two players, Maker and Breaker claim unclaimed edges of $G$ in turns, and Maker wins if by the end of the game she claims all the edges of a pre-defined…
We introduce and study a Maker-Breaker type game in which the issue is to create or avoid two disjoint dominating sets in graphs without isolated vertices. We prove that the maker has a winning strategy on all connected graphs if the game…
The Maker-Breaker domination game is played on a graph $G$ by two players, called Dominator and Staller. They alternately select an unplayed vertex in $G$. Dominator wins the game if he forms a dominating set while Staller wins the game if…
In this paper we study the (a : b) Maker-Breaker Connectivity game, played on the edge-set of the complete graph on n vertices. We determine the winner for almost all values of a and b.
We investigate a game played between two players, Maker and Breaker, on a countably infinite complete graph where the vertices are the rational numbers. The players alternately claim unclaimed edges. It is Maker's goal to have after…
We introduce and study Maker/Breaker-type positional games on random graphs. Our main concern is to determine the threshold probability $p_{F}$ for the existence of Maker's strategy to claim a member of $F$ in the unbiased game played on…
The Maker-Breaker domination game is played on a graph $G$ by Dominator and Staller. The players alternatively select a vertex of $G$ that was not yet chosen in the course of the game. Dominator wins if at some point the vertices he has…
The Maker-Breaker domination game is played on a graph $G$ by Dominator and Staller who alternate turns selecting an unplayed vertex of $G$. The goal of Dominator is that the vertices he selected during the game form a dominating set while…
We initiate the study of a new variant of the Maker-Breaker positional game, which we call multistage game. Given a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}=(\mathcal{X},\mathcal{F})$ and a bias $b \ge 1$, the $(1:b)$ multistage Maker-Breaker game on…
