Proposal: Ticket To Ride

Add a new subrule to the Tournament Rules of Giolitti called “Seeds”

Each Player as a non-negative integer amount of Seeds. A player with two or fewer seeds and at least six pegs may purchase a seed by spending six pegs.

In the Tournament Rules of Giolitti, insert the following step after “Deal seven Cards into each Participant’s Hand (starting with the Starting Player).”

* Deal an additional card into each Participant’s Hand (starting with the Starting Player) for each Seed they have. Set each participant’s Seeds to 0

Hmm. I think that five pegs to a seed might be too cheap?

my thinking was its hard to actually generate pegs. generally an equal number are won or lost. if we made it something like ten, most people would be able to do this 2-3 times all dynasty. So we could bump it up to 6, but I think more than that it just wouldn’t see enough use to make it worth it.

This also, I mean, we all have 30 pegs arleady, so

Surely we’d all just instantly buy two seeds? For the next three games it’s 9v9 hands?

and then you have no pegs left? and sure, you maybe got a couple of pegs from winning and some magistrelli, but someone who saved their pegs will be better off in the crown matches? i dont think burning 30 pegs in 3 games is the right move.

against I’d rather see a second/alternate endgame bracket for players who get lucky with gambling.

against seems unlikely to pass at this point and I wanna free up the queue
