Talk:Pyramid Scheme: Difference between revisions

The story about why this page wasn't added before (when I went through the SLICK list last year) is that I wasn't sure if the game was playable without the diagrams. After reading the rules more closely and trying it out (albeit not while actually playing it out), it makes sense. Unlike Gemini, this game is playable without the start up diagram. I hope some people will now have the chance to enjoy this lost game; thematically, it's a predecessor of Nile.

The trouble with the plague rule was not only that it is a very powerful attack, but also that, with two-players, you end up going back and forth with retribution (remember that it you can only plague the "next" player, so that is different with more than two). We decided that it should play best with having it cost more the fewer players that you have, and we'll hopefully have a chance to tinker with that soon.
