Kevan's review of '''DoomedIdeas'''<nowiki>'</nowiki> Draft:
:"I like the idea of finding and focusing on particular items, that was one of the most enjoyable parts of the Second Photography dynasty and it'd be good to see what else we could do with it. Some parts of the suggested corpora seem quite US-leaning ("corn roaster"!), but we can sort that out."
:Mechanics: ★★★★, Theme: ★, Style: ★★★

DoomedIdeas’ Review of '''Kevan’s''' Draft:
:“I like the idea of this Dynasty! I am concerned that, since the room pool is shared, a lot of the success in this Dynasty is going to rely on luck instead of skill. Routing each personalized Dungeon like you laid out should help mitigate it, though! The theme seems very fun.”
:Mechanics ★★, Theme ★★★★, Style ★★★★

DoomedIdeas’ Review of '''Clucky’s''' Draft:
:“I have the same mechanical issues with this as I did with JonathanDark’s Draft. However, this Draft has removed the consistent theming, and pasting someone else’s Draft with a few word replacements has no style whatsoever.”
:Mechanics ★, Theme ★, Style ★

DoomedIdeas’ Review of '''Trapdoorspyder’s''' Draft:
:“I love the idea, and using charts for pixel art is very fun! I do think the example rules could use some rephrasing, such as “equal or less than” becoming “equal to or less than”. Also, suitcases should be allowed to stack. Those are minor complaints, however. You’ve made a great Draft!”
:Mechanics ★★★, Theme ★★★★, Style ★★★★★

Kevan's review of '''Clucky's''' Draft:
:"The three joke wording changes made to JonathanDark's Draft do not improve it."
:Mechanics: ★, Theme: ★, Style: ★

Kevan's review of '''Trapdoorspyder's''' Draft:
:"Packing objects into a confined space and travelling onwards seem like strong base mechanics. I'm not sure it even needs the game show narrative."
:Mechanics: ★★★★, Theme: ★★★, Style: ★★

Josh's review of '''Clucky's''' Draft:
:"Bants."
:Mechanics: ★, Theme: ★, Style: ★

Josh's review of '''DoomedIdeas's''' Draft:
:"As a technological chancer, I don't really know what a .json file is or how to use it. Respectfully, it is also a bit more Emperor-dependent than I usually like for a first-timer."
:Mechanics: ★★, Theme: ★, Style: ★★★★

Josh's review of '''Kevan's''' Draft:
:"An interesting set-up. Would need to mitigate luck and last-mover advantages. Posting hand-drawn maps to the blog is a great hooky idea."
:Mechanics: ★★★★, Theme: ★★, Style: ★★★★

Josh's review of '''Trapdoorspyder's''' Draft:
:"I like the packing mechanic. I do worry that the uptime-downtime cycle of secret virtual actions and active play may not be where my heart is at."
:Mechanics: ★★, Theme: ★★★, Style: ★★★

JonathanDark's review of '''DoomedIdeas’''' Draft:
:"This idea pulls from some of the best parts of the second photography-based dynasty and gives some structure to it. While not original in theme, it is original in the concept of challenges and the engagement with the players, which is key to a successful dynasty."
:Mechanics: ★★★★, Theme: ★, Style: ★★★★

JonathanDark's review of '''Kevan’s''' Draft:
:"I love roll-and-write games, and this reminds me of some of the cartography-based board games. The biggest difficulty is in providing mechanics to describe each room and their orientation, which I think is important to be able to classify the use of the rooms in each player's map. You also want to be able to identify each room uniquely to open up additional rules for placing objects or effects."
:Mechanics: ★★★★, Theme: ★★★, Style: ★★★★

JonathanDark's review of '''Trapdoorspyder’s''' Draft:
:"A unique idea, but I'm not sure why Purchasing would be a Virtual Action, unless each Player's inventory is privately tracked. I think this could all be public and have limited Emperor involvement, which would increase visible player activity and prevent the flow of actions from being restricted by Emperor time availability. Other than that, the base mechanics are sound and provide opening for more interesting actions involving inventory space, item values, and income generation."
:Mechanics: ★★★, Theme: ★★★, Style: ★★★

JonathanDark's review of '''Clucky’s''' Draft:
:"Feels very derivative, with only trite enhancements to the Plan it was stolen from. This doesn't add much value to the range of Plans we might potentially chose from."
:Mechanics: ★, Theme: ★, Style: ★

JonathanDark's review of '''Josh’s''' Draft:
:"I'm a big fan of dynasties involving manipulating the ruleset itself, because it's very Nomic. We tend to focus more on boardgame-like dynasties, and I'm just as guilty of that as the next person, so ruleset manipulation is always refreshing to see. There probably needs to be an International Waters ruleset to allow boats to function, but other than that, the mechanics look pretty solid."
:Mechanics: ★★★★, Theme: ★★★★, Style: ★★★

Kevan's review of '''Josh's''' Draft:
:"The shipping theme is a strong one and it'd be good to try out an hours-and-days idle game mechanic. Less convinced by the rule-shipping stuff, though; either that kind of thing is heavily guardrailed and they're not really rules at all, or it has free rein and it reduces engagement in proposal writing and all other dynastic play through the risk of the base mechanics breaking down or being scammed."
:Mechanics: ★★★, Theme: ★★★★, Style: ★★★

DoomedIdeas’ Review of '''Josh’s''' Draft:
:“This does seem very Nomic, and very interesting! I like the options you’ve provided between rule shipping or simply goods and territory. I worry that the random timing element may cause a need to check the game more than once a day, especially when a player may be busy. Did my neighbor’s boat arrive, changing my rules? Has someone else’s rule arrived yet, so I can steal it?”
:Mechanics ★★★, Theme ★★★★, Style ★★★

ais523's review of '''Kevan's''' Draft:
:This seems like an interesting core idea, but I think the heart of the dynasty will be the actions in rooms and those aren't really fleshed out in the draft – it may well be hard to make a good set that requires skill to play, and it's the sort of ruleset where one innocent-seeming addition could completely break things.
:Mechanics: ★★, Theme: ★★★, Style: ★★★★

DoomedIdeas’ Review of '''JonathanDark’s''' Draft:
:“I’m a big fan of Mastermind, so this kind of logic-puzzle Dynasty seems great. Your changes have also completely taken care of the timing issue. A tiebreaker might be needed for who gets what Lead, but that isn’t necessary to have in the Draft. The theme seems interesting as well- I like the idea of the Emperor literally being the Crime Scene!”
:Mechanics ★★★, Theme ★★★, Style ★★★★

ais523's review of '''TrapdoorSpyder's''' Draft:
:"The portion of the basic mechanics shown here seem sound, but there's hardly any detail – the rules are more like aspirations than actual mechanics. I'm not sure that shopping needs to be virtual, and it's unclear how the player interaction would work."
:Mechanics ★★★, Theme ★★★, Style ★

ais523's review of '''Josh's''' Draft:
:"The key to making this work is going to be in the nature of the traded rules – your changes to add random Tenet generation seem like a step in the right direction. I wonder whether this would work better as a sequence of fixed-length rounds."
:Mechanics ★★★, Theme ★★, Style ★★★

ais523's review of '''DoomedIdeas's''' Draft:
:"This seems like a good iteration on a theme that's been done a couple of times before. Even though JSON files are easy to understand, I'd recommend converting them into lists – but randomizing a challenge from a list should produce some interesting challenges. The dynasty does seem very time-consuming, though, and I doubt I would play it."
:Mechanics ★★★★, Theme ★★, Style ★

ais523's review of '''JonathanDark's''' Draft:
:"This new version is mechanically sound, but seems to be only slightly about logical deduction, slightly about negotiating for the lead type that's most useful, and primarily about pooling information and guess actions. As such it'll need a lot of thought about how the win condition will interact with pooling attempts, as the dynasty is likely to critically depend on that."
:Mechanics ★★★★, Theme ★★, Style ★★

Shopping Spree Draft

2025-05-23T03:12:09Z

Trapdoorspy: Updating based on feedback.

= Gameplay Summary =
The core idea of this dynasty would be all of the players purchase items and pack them into cars over a series of rounds. Inspired in part by the Backpack Hero game, players would have an allowance of gold for buying items that they receive every round for purchasing items, and then a grid that they would then have to put those items into. Items would have various effects that could affect the game and would occupy space on grids that represent each player's car. The idea would be a euro-style game with light cross-player interactions, with the theme being that each player is on a massive shopping spree attempting to outdo all the others.

= Example Rules =
== Looting and Running ==
Each Player has a publicly tracked Ready status, which may either be "Yes" or "No" and defaults to "No". When all Players have a Ready status of Yes, the Emperor should take the following Atomic Action known as "Revving up Engines" at their earliest convenience.

* Apply the effects of Items in Player's Cars using the following method:
* Scan each of the cells of each Player's Car, starting in the top left corner and proceeding to the right when possible, or to the leftmost cell of the next row down when not.
* When a cell containing part of an Item is scanned, Activate that Item if that has not been done so for that instance of that Item in the current "Revving up Engines" atomic action.
* Increase each Player's Coins by 20.
* Remove all Items from the "For Sale" list, then randomly select 7 unique Items and add them to the "For Sale" list (or add all items to the "For Sale" list if there are less than 7 Items in the ruleset).
*Set each Player's Ready value to "No".

== Items ==
Each Player has a Car, which is defined as a 5x8 grid, and by default every cell in it is empty (represented by the Gray color). Items are objects represented by colored cells that may contain text within a grid that take up space within Cars and may be owned by Players. There exists a publicly tracked list "For Sale" which lists the names of up to 7 Items. Players may spend Coins equal to the price of an Item on the "For Sale" in order to gain a copy of that Item, at which point they must place it into their Car in a manner that does not overlap with other Items and is not rotated from the orientation given in the below list. Players may rearrange the Items in their Car at any time, or may remove Items from their Car entirely if they no longer wish to have them. Each player has a publicly tracked amount of Coins that defaults to 20.

The following is the list of Items that exist, which have a name followed by a grid layout that it occupies (all non-Gray cells), a price, and an effect. If an Item's effect contains the text "Activate:", everything after that text in that item's effect is applied when Activated during the "Revving up Engines" atomic actions. All Item effects are applied to the owner of the Item unless otherwise stated.

Trapdoorspy: Fixing some formatting

= Gameplay Summary =
A two-phased game with a shopping phase and a travel phase. Inspired in part by the Backpack Hero game, players would have an allowance each shopping phase to allocate money towards what they buy, and then a car each transport phase that they have to fit in everything that they bought into! Items would have various effects that could potentially make additional money or gain points and occupy space on a grid that would represent each player's car. The idea would be a euro-style game with light cross-player interactions, with the lore essentially being that each player is attempting to go on a massive shopping spree to win a prize on a game show.

= Example Rules =
== Core Actions ==
There are two phases which the game can be in: Shopping, and Traveling. During the Shopping Phase, players may use the "Purchasing" virtual action, and during the Traveling Phase, players may use the "Stashing" action.

Purchasing is a virtual action in which a Player sends the Emperor a list of goods, the prices of which sum to an amount equal or less than the number of Coins which that player has.

Stashing is an action in which players may place any items in their Inventory into their Car, rearrange items already within their Car, or remove items from their Car that they do not wish to own anymore.

== Items ==
The following is a list of items that might appear for purchase in the Shopping Phase, which have a name followed by a grid layout that it occupies, a price, and an effect.
