Any chance you would reconsider extensions because that really helped me a lot in Splendor?

Hi Nancy

<3 Congrats, do you understand this next part because I don’t.

I should have bid 11 or paper. Congrats Charles.

If this set is played again, I would recommend doing away with thie finals entirely, just eliminate one player not two and then have the game continue like it was from the beginning. I really enjoyed that part because it involved strategizing what lot you thought would give you the best options where as the finals were just based more on luck.

One idea I was toying with was the inclusion of items, which could be (bought? bid on?) with coins.

I ultimately discarded it for the first run because it would have taken extra time to design them and I was worried that a) it would overcomplicate things and b) I would spend so much time working on them that I wouldn't get the game up and running. Might be something to re-evaluate for a second run.

+1

Anything to make it more strategic. That’s why the early part was so fun but I absolutely did not enjoy the finals.

How was the length of the game, overall? Is five rounds between eliminations too many? not enough? just right?

How much should previous rounds matter for those who survive an elimination? Should scores be reset? (This becomes especially relevant if the finals are removed - one reason I did the finals the way I did was to solve the runaway leader problem.)

What sort of items should the game have, if any? Ideally ones that won't slow the game down. I've got some ideas ...

Should items be auctioned off? Sold in a separate store? Spend X coins to buy a mystery item?

I would also prefer extensions be used like they were in Splendor but only eliminate one slot at semi-finals and not 2 and continue with the three slots thing. That part was the most fun.

Will the final round involve options of which stack you can choose because that’s what made the first part fun because it in involved strategy rather than just straight up guessing?
