whither MLGN

[prog]

Though I consider myself a semi-retired rabbit (and complained a lot about the venue last month), I plan on showing up at Your Move Games at 7 anyway, with the intention of playtesting tweaked-Gnostica. (Having a goal in mind makes all the difference, as far as my sustaining my own fun-level is concerned.)

Dang. I'll miss it. Another time? Perhaps at a HoRGN?

Yes, definitely, and maybe elsewhere too; I'd like to get back into the state of not having to look up the powers of every bloody trump card when I play, and that will take more practice. :) Tonight just seems an auspicious night for an initial try.

I've never gotten to the point of not having to look up every trump... that would be nice, indeed.

HoRGN and MLGN sound like names for Odin's other 2 ravens, the ones that flunked out of Divinity School and instead spend their days picking up scraps in the parking lots of Asgard.

I'm gonna try to remember to be there. Will be happy to playtest the tweaks.

Have the Gnostica tweaks been posted anywhere? I
am curious what is different...

Nothing official yet, just something the design team's been playing with, to get around the bad taste of the "win-or-die" elimination rule that tastes so bad to many people (myself included).

The tweak is simply that, if someone challenges and then fails to keep their >= 9 points (as per the current rules), the game immediately ends with all other players sharing the victory.

Feel free to try it out yourself. :)
