Finally! A system to determine victory that the people in my playgroup would get behind.
My suggestion, keep it simple. 1 token per Victory Objective. It’s just less complicated to score, compare hockey or soccer, to a game like basketball.
The current VC system seems busted and this could be a really solid alternative. The best thing it has going for it is that one line about whoever has more “at the end of the night.”
That is what’s needed. No sudden death. No TKO. No autocall. No need to play for 4 days.
This is what my players want I think. A simple way to determine the Victor in a single session.
A simple point system. Genius
My other suggestion, whatever the number of tokens, it should just be addition, not subtraction. You get points/tokens for your side. You don’t take em away from the enemy, or steal them. This is again for simplicty.
Two piles or stacks of tokens. A pile for each side. Without a bunch of chips changing hands all the time. Just straight forward, positive ways to win.
I really like it. The number of total objectives or specific objectives, doesn’t matter so much to me as the general concept. Since this could be used for all A&A boards, and not just G40.
Well done dude :-D
Ps. You could maybe print an objectives score card, on a 8.5x11 sheet of paper, like with columns. Then make a hash or an X in pencil, like if you were playing cricket in darts or scoring any game like that. Or laminate it and use actual tokens. something like that would be more practical for me than individual objectives printed at the playing card size. But of course I’m down for decks as well. Also, again if this works for G40, could work for the other games too like 42.2 especially, which also has a somewhat busted VC win problem of the same sort G40 has currently. Victory Tokens could give a better way to call the game, or resolve it at the players pace.
They can choose a total number of points, or a time to call it, and just go by that, instead of trying to puzzle out who has “the edge” at the end of the night. Or forcing continuations, concessions, or undecided matches, because of the oob VC system falling short. Tokens just seem like a novel alternative. I would like to try it out
