You take your outside interests elsewhere, buster! Nothing else matters but this game, the one to start it all, and to end it all.

Hm that sounds too armaggedonish imho. "To end it all" ... .
Too dramatic

Is 15 the limit or can I still join on as utgard?

Sorry, but we're trying to limit the game to 15 players.

There will be another game soon, no doubt!

Just a quick question about the rules: aren't 10 cumulative VPs a little bit low? I mean, if somebody manages to capture only two VPs early, then the whole game will just last 4 1/2 years. If somebody manages to capture 3 and later 4, the game will last only 2 1/2 years. That will make imprisoned pretenders more or less useless.

Thanks for pointing that out, Bluebird.

My hope was to set things up so that the game would likely end by around Turn 60 (5 years) with a chance that it would last longer. (Points are awarded every 12 turns, and so I don't think there can be 1/2 years.)

The original suggestion to me assumed that VP's would be in capitals only, but I don't want that because I believe it makes the capitals of newer players easy, cheap targets.

With that mind, maybe we should raise the winning score to 20.

1/3 of the total VP provinces would be 5. A player would have to be pretty successful early on to achieve that number of points by turn 48.

What do the other players think?
