Abstract
We study the class of sequence-building games, where two players pick letters from a finite alphabet to construct an infinite word. The outcome is determined by whether the resulting word lies in a prescribed subshift (a win for player A) or not (a win for player B). We investigate the relation between the target subshift and the set of turn orders for which A has a winning strategy.
