Builder-Blocker game complexity

Determine the computational complexity of the decision versions of the Builder and Blocker general position games.

Background

The Builder/Blocker games build a maximal general-position set under opposing objectives. The survey states that the decision complexity is completely unknown and records the conjecture that both game variants are PSPACE-complete.

References

The complexity of the decision version of the Builder/Blocker game is completely unknown, but gives the following conjecture.
