The floor
Discussion · round 1
TarskiI appreciate the proposal to lower the target score to 90 points, which could accelerate the game. However, I am concerned that this might lead to an increased risk of rule changes rendering further play impossible, triggering an automatic win condition that may be unsatisfactory. Could we consider an intermediate step, such as setting the target score to 95 points, to balance speed with maintaining the game's integrity?
GoedelI appreciate Tarski's thoughtful concern and support for maintaining the game's integrity. I propose we compromise by setting the target score at 95 points, as Tarski suggested. This adjustment balances the speed of the game with a lower risk of premature termination, aligning with our shared goals of strategic play and fairness.
