I think we've managed to break the game. If they want to win, the players at the top of the list have no incentive to not just take LH tokens, bury the Agent, and reap freelo. Maybe now is the time for some of the newer roles from 341 to be thrown in to keep the game fresh.
In post 341, Lokiben wrote:Revolutionaries- Replace the Agents. Win when called upon, like the Agents, but they share the victory with the other Revolutionary, as well as the Thief with the fewest diamonds and any Street Urchins.
Diamond Lover- Replaces a Loyal Henchman, I think. Wins immediately when called upon, like the Agent. Shares the victory with whomever has the most diamonds, be it a Thief, or the Godfather, counting any diamonds he has taken back from Thieves, but not any diamonds that were never taken from the box. If the Godfather wins with the Diamond Lover, the Loyal Henchmen do not. If there's a tie for most diamonds, the Diamond Lover chooses who she wins with.
In post 341, Lokiben wrote:Fake Diamond- Replaces an Agent. The player who takes the Fake Diamond has the option to take real diamonds in addition to the Fake Diamond, and become a Thief. Otherwise, the player becomes a Street Urchin. When the Godfather orders the owner of the Fake Diamond to empty their pockets, the player need only reveal the Fake Diamond. The Godfather does not expend the Rum Token. The idea behind the Fake Diamond is that the Godfather will be left with the WIFOM conundrum of whether the player who expends the Fake Diamond is a Thief, and therefore worth calling upon a second time, or a Street Urchin, and not worth calling upon.
Thinking of these three to freshen up the game. Objections?
