World's Fate

Notes

Unlike Somori/DragonsGambit which is a very poker-like game, World's Fate should be much more complex.

My current thoughts revolve around giving each Type (what the hell do the people of Creation call this distinction, I don't think it's "type" somehow. Possibly "genesis" and the being that Exalted a particular genesis is a "progenitor". I dunno) a special ability and a points value.

Hmm, Each player is given one of the Solar cards, randomly, and places it in front of him. They seat in caste order (Dawn->Zenith, etc.)

The object would be to collect as many points as possible in front of him. Solars worth 20, other celestials worth 15, numbered elemental cards worth face value, the Censor worth 8 and the Dragon worth 10.

Initial hand size would be 5, dealt out by any player.

Each player gets one move, starting with the Dawn.

A move is either:

• Put a card from hand into play under his control and draw another card (if possible)
• Take an uncontrolled card into his army
• Capture another card. To do this, the active player must choose a number of cards with points value equal to or greater than the target card to go into his attacking force. The targeted card is put into the defensive force and the player who controls it may add more cards to the defensive force. If the total value of the defensive force is greater to or equal than the attacking force, any non-Solar cards are put into the middle of the table (and become uncontrolled), otherwise the attacker takes control of the targeted card. Any card which attacks cannot be used to defend until that players next turn. Cards that defend may defend in all moves.

Actual gambling would be an all-or-nothing affair, whatever the players wanted to bet would be put in the pot and shared amongst the winners in a pre-arranged fashion. All to the winner, various splits down the rankings, etc.

Yeah, more complex. I think I might need to knock together a test deck and try this out with some friends. Feel free to give it a go yourselves, if you can work out what I mean?
