Dominant Species
← All Dominant Species questions
Must you point out a dominance change that goes against you, or can you stay silent?
The designer answered this directly, and the rulebook's claim rule agrees; the silence reading is only a community view.

Speak up as soon as you see it, whether the change helps you or hurts you. The designer says dominance changes throughout the game, so there is no separate checking phase, and that is why the rules have players claim changes when they occur. Some players read the letter of the rules as allowing silence, but scoring an error you knew about is cheating.
