In my last two games, the round after I level to tier 4, my tavern tier was not included in the damage I dealt my opponent after winning the round.
The first time this would have left the other person with one hp, the second time would have kicked them out of the game.

Are you aware that there’s a progressive damage protection in the game ?
In the early stage of the game (while five or more players are still alive), there is a limit to the amount of damage you can do to your opponent.
