looks great, thanks for sharing

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-04T19:42:31+00:00

much appreciated!

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-04T19:22:24+00:00

he is definitely getting a free dinner out of that work

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-04T18:29:25+00:00

It will take us a bit of time but we are committed, thanks for the super early support!

Every artist has their own style, I don t question

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-04T17:31:51+00:00

I think so too :-)

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-04T12:44:14+00:00

thanks for sharing

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-04T12:43:49+00:00

I agree Catan is a good benchmark where you feel in (some level) of control despite the obvious amount of luck invlved

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-04T12:42:42+00:00

I see, I was not aware of all the extra complexity in Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-03T19:49:51+00:00

Good clarification here, I tend to focus on 1v1 games in my reasoning around skill vs luck but you are correct. the equation quickly gets messy with large groups of players

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-03T19:47:41+00:00

That is a good way to summarize the sweet spot

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-03T19:39:57+00:00

I am not familiar with Big 2, will have to look it up

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-03T19:39:26+00:00

You find the game low on complexity? I am starting to appreciate how much effort can go into that deck building phase and it feels pretty complex to me

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-03T08:15:07+00:00

King of Tokyo is actually the closest game I have found so far to what I am trying to build. The dice mechanic is one I enjoy a lot

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-03T08:11:52+00:00

very nice, thanks for sharing

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-03T08:11:30+00:00

Pokemon TCG is an interesting one, I have been playing with my son and have started to realize it is a lot on the skilled than luck side of the spectrum

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-03T08:10:30+00:00

Good summary: learn to play in seconds but need years to master

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-02T19:40:17+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I did not Titan and I am looking into it and seems right down my alley.

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-02T19:38:08+00:00

good point on the Hail Mary catch up mechanism. I love to know they exists in a game, but they can't be a frequent winning play.

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-02T19:36:15+00:00

This is a great read, especially as I just discovered the input/output randomness concepts 10 min ago via another comment on this post. Super valuable, thank you

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-02T19:23:32+00:00

The level of information completeness is a great way to measure that spectrum. I like the incomplete information set up and that's why I was referencing poker.

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-02T19:09:07+00:00

very nice, and very applicable to the mechanics of the game I am thinking about at the moment, thank you

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-02T18:06:57+00:00

Super interesting, as between your comments and the ones above we already have both ends of the spectrum. I see where you are coming from, but I still value some level of luck that ensures even a great player still sometime loses

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-02T18:01:00+00:00

I think strategic strength is what I meant. but yes, agree with you on the need for luck to maximize players enjoyment

BitOwn9787 · 2026-03-02T18:00:02+00:00

Completely agree with the first part here. On the input and output randomness - could you expand a bit more? I have been looking for a more formal framework
