I'm not sure whether this has been addressed officially yet, but I just wanted to make sure I understood this right. When making an opposed flip, if both opponents flip a critical success, does the critical with the most checks win, or does it always count as a tie, requiring a reflip? For example: One opponent is flipping red (0), the other is flipping green (2). (Note: I'm using the new color scheme.) Red only has one check on its critical, whereas green has three. If they both flip a critical, does green win? When I ran the demo, and also when I got these simulation results I assumed that green would, in fact, win in that scenario. (Note: that post was pre-color color change. Sorry for any confusion!) Is my assumption correct? If so, perhaps it should be made explicit in the rules document. Thanks!

I do think green wins in that situation; criticals are only reflipped if they are the same color. I tried to find the post on this, but couldn't yet.
In fact I'd go as far as say that is the reason crits now have different amounts of checks/strikes, to make it immediately obvious.
The rules should likely include an updated "Resolution Ladder":
Blue Critical Success Green Critical Success Yellow Critical Success Red Critical Success Triple Check Double Check Check Strike Double Strike Triple Strike Blue Critical Failure Green Critical Failure Yellow Critical Failure Red Critical Failure

Dunno if it's official somewhere, but that seems highly intuitive to me, and how I personally would run crits.
