Proposal: A Meaningful Round of Play
In the rule “Guards and Burglars”, after the text “and also had more Successes than every other Agent immediately prior to the most recent Breaking In action,” add the following text:
and also gained Successes in the most recent Breaking In action,
I don’t usually like trying to alter the win condition when someone is on the precipice of winning, but in this case there’s a game-breaking issue where this current round is completely pointless under the current win condition.
With this proposal, it at least requires the player who has almost won to make sure they and their team win in order to achieve victory. Thus, it’s not stealing away the victory, just making it make more sense to continue this round to the end of it.
We have to play this round to the end for the wincon to trigger anyway, so let’s make it worthwhile to play for real.
I like it! I had the idea to make it so a winning Agent’s success values from before and after the Break In had to both be higher than any other Agents’ post-Break In successes, but it seemed a little targeted. This one feels a bit more fair, I think.
Withdrawn
Clucky: he/him
I worry a bit this will make victory nearly impossible, because everyone can work together to stop a leader from getting a success.
maybe revise my scoring proposal =D
