Problem - Coin Game on DAG (Part 6)

(Multi-coin variants)

Variations: What if there are multiple coins?

Then you need to track the entire game state (all coin positions) and build a product graph. What if players alternate between different graphs?

Model this as a larger game with state (current graph, coin position). The core technique remains backward induction, but the state space becomes more complex. With kk coins each on a DAG of nn vertices, the state space grows to O(nk)O(n^k), which is only feasible for small kk.
