We study the $(m,b)$ Maker-Breaker percolation game on $\mathbb{Z}^2$, introduced by Day and Falgas-Ravry. As our first result, we show that Breaker has a winning strategy for the $(m,b)$-game whenever $b \geq (2-\frac{1}{14} + o(1))m$,…
Motivated by problems in percolation theory, we study the following 2-player positional game. Let $\Lambda_{m \times n}$ be a rectangular grid-graph with $m$ vertices in each row and $n$ vertices in each column. Two players, Maker and…
Let $\Lambda$ be an infinite connected graph, and let $v_0$ be a vertex of $\Lambda$. We consider the following positional game. Two players, Maker and Breaker, play in alternating turns. Initially all edges of $\Lambda$ are marked as…
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 the following combinatorial two-player game: On the random tree arising from a branching process, each round one player (Breaker) deletes an edge and by that removes the descendant and all its progeny, while the other (Maker)…
In a Maker-Breaker game on a graph $G$, Breaker and Maker alternately claim edges of $G$. Maker wins if, after all edges have been claimed, the graph induced by his edges has some desired property. We consider four Maker-Breaker games…
Given an integer-valued matrix $A$ of dimension $\ell \times k$ and an integer-valued vector $b$ of dimension $\ell$, the Maker-Breaker $(A,b)$-game on a set of integers $X$ is the game where Maker and Breaker take turns claiming previously…
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…
A set of vertices $W$ of a graph $G$ is a resolving set if every vertex of $G$ is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to $W$. In this paper, the Maker-Breaker resolving game is introduced. The game is played on a graph $G$ by…
In the Maker-Breaker resolving game, two players named Resolver and Spoiler alternately select unplayed vertices of a given graph $G$. The aim of Resolver is to select all the vertices of some resolving set of $G$, while Spoiler aims to…
The triangle game introduced by Chv\'{a}tal and Erd\H{o}s (1978) is one of the most famous combinatorial games. For $n,q\in\mathbb{N}$, the $(n,q)$-triangle game is played by two players, called Maker and Breaker, on the complete graph…
In the Maker-Breaker domination game played on a graph $G$, Dominator's goal is to select a dominating set and Staller's goal is to claim a closed neighborhood of some vertex. We study the cases when Staller can win the game. If Dominator…
In this paper, we study Maker-Breaker games on the random hypergraph $H_{n,s,p}$, obtained from the complete $s$-graph by keeping every edge independently with probability $p$. We determine the threshold probability for the property of…
In a $(1:b)$ Maker-Breaker game, a primary question is to find the maximal value of $b$ that allows Maker to win the game (that is, the critical bias $b^*$). Erd\H{o}s conjectured that the critical bias for many Maker-Breaker games played…
We introduce the Maker-Breaker domination game, a two player game on a graph. At his turn, the first player, Dominator, select a vertex in order to dominate the graph while the other player, Staller, forbids a vertex to Dominator in order…
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…
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…
Maker-Breaker total domination game in graphs is introduced as a natural counterpart to the Maker-Breaker domination game recently studied by Duch\^ene, Gledel, Parreau, and Renault. Both games are instances of the combinatorial…
The Maker-Breaker domination game is a positional game played on a graph by two players called Dominator and Staller. The players alternately select a vertex of the graph that has not yet been chosen. Dominator wins if at some point the…
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…
