I'm ...Nolan: I really appreciate your comments. I'm glad you made it through the rambling to grasp a little about the game. Your comment regarding double randomness (dice + card draw) is really spot on and you've put it into perspective for me. <br /><br />I think I'm currently on the path to keeping this reasonable, but we'll see.<br /><br />Currently, hitting the dice rolls can make a good hand better, but not hitting them shouldn't ruin the game for you. There should be several dice allocations to access at all times, plus you get to roll 3 dice. I hope the focus is on maximizing what you have, not slogging through some terrible randomness. It should enhance the choice, not be annoying. <br /><br />I'll have to see. I'll check out 1955 now.

It uses a tug-of-war scoring mechanic as you try to influence different nations to your side. It came to mind as I was trying to imagine what exactly "influencing the Jury" meant.<br /><br /><a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/65750/1955-revised-rulebook-4-1-2011" rel="nofollow">1955 rulebook</a><br /><br />I have to admit that the flow of your game isn't entirely clear to me, but it sounds interesting. The thought of adding another layer of randomness (dice rolls) on top of the first layer (deck draws) concerns me, but it might be that I'm just not seeing how it all flows together.Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974573758954633074noreply@blogger.com
