In the rule “Masks”

Each Player may wear a Mask, which is publicly tracked, and which defaults to not wearing any mask. A Player may wear, change, or remove their Mask at any time, unless they are one of the Players of a Game in progress.

to

Each Player must wear a Mask, which is publicly tracked, and which defaults to Pantalone. A Player may change their Mask at any time, unless they are one of the Players of a Game in progress.

There’s no strategic benefit to not wearing a mask compared to wearing Pantalone, Arlecchino or Tognoli, so we might as well give newbies one fewer step to check off before readying for a fair game.

I think this kind of stat can be a useful signifier in Nomic.

Grouping together people who are using Pantalone because it seems worthwhile with those who are using it because they haven’t realised they can change it will also make it harder to decide what needs balancing.

FWIW I chose Pantalone because its effect doesn’t require any particular knowledge on the newbie’s part; the newbie gets their hand, and it has an extra card in it as a reminder of their mask effect.
