Add a bullet point after the second one in the rule “Turns”:-
* If the date is on or after December 4th 2022 and a single Group has more Stamps than every other Group (where a Group’s Stamps are the total of all of those in the Stamp Collections of Visitors it controls), then that Group achieves victory. The Group may announce upon declaring victory that a Visitor it controls has become the Heir to the park.
Revisiting Bucky’s stamps-as-goal Win By Stamp Collecting, but with a simpler “most stamps wins”.
Bucky:
Three criticisms.
First, the technical one: it looks like a turn boundary will fall on early December 4th during a time when few players tend to be on, with a significant chance of a lead change resulting in two players achieving victory in the span of a couple of hours in a way that requires the immediate participation of neither. The victory condition should be constructed to avoid that kind of DoV race.
Second, the flavor one: it has been the intent since the ascension address, reinforced with the original victory proposal, that the win be awarded to an individual Visitor rather than equally shared within a Group.
Finally, the gameplay one: This flattens the various stamps’ values too much, they should not be considered interchangeable.
