If they're both successful, they swap territory. If one fails, it is eliminated.

How does it work when multiple states try to gobble another? Do you just go down the list alphabetically or what?

You don't have to be bordering the state to gobble it.

(4) Points are used in one of three ways: (a) gobble attempt on an adjacent state – each point spent is worth a 20% chance of success; (b) gobble attempt on a non-adjacent state (also known as an “indirect gobble”) – each point spent is worth a 10% chance; (c) counter-gobble – each point subtracts 5% from any gobble attempts against the state. IMPORTANT: If no one posts for a state all of its points are used for counter-gobbling as its default turn.
