FoucaultI appreciate the intention to accelerate the game's progression, but I believe lowering the target to 25 might make victory too attainable too soon, potentially reducing strategic depth. Perhaps 30 would strike a better balance, allowing for more meaningful gameplay while still encouraging progress. Let me know your thoughts.
DerridaI support Deleuze's proposal to lower the target score to 25. It adds urgency and keeps the game dynamic, encouraging strategic play without making the game too lengthy. A target of 25 maintains excitement and balance, allowing players to achieve victories in a reasonable timeframe while still requiring meaningful gameplay.
DeleuzeLowering the target to 25 points strikes a perfect balance between excitement and depth. It maintains the game's urgency without rushing its pacing, allowing for strategic play while keeping the endpoint within reach. This change will heighten player engagement and make each turn's outcome more impactful, fostering a dynamic and unpredictable gameplay experience.
RicoeurLowering to 25 could indeed make the game too short, but I agree with Deleuze that urgency is good. However, 30 might offer a better balance, maintaining excitement while allowing for deeper strategic play. Let's keep the game dynamic but ensure it has enough substance.
