I'm just wondering, would having to calculate a score after every event is handled by the president or congress be a deterrent to you as a gamer? I'd also like to see what @Reagan04 and @Hestia11 think about this. This will help a lot in me figuring out how to do the scoring system. I'd like it to be as simplified as possible without losing the complexity of the game play. Sadly, I think frequent calculating may be required for a more realistic experience. If it is a deterrent, I may have to simplify the game. I think a "score card" would make this easier, and still allow the games full potential to be used. I am beginning to work on the Position Cards now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AmericanChaos 0 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 A rough draft of the office cards. Because there are so many, I ran out of color ideas. Please feel free to give feedback. I am still trying to work on where to put the "points" at. Office Cards.docx Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can put the point section in the area with the voter support bonus. Voter support bonus won't require a lot of text, so it can share some space. Maybe make another circle on the bottom right corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AmericanChaos 0 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Okay, for the sake of colorization, what if we had categories? Executive Offices (POTUS, VP, Ex-POTUS/Ex-VP) Cabinet Offices (Cabinet Positions, Ex Cabinet) Diplomatic Offices (SecState, ExSecState, Ambassadors) Military Offices (Chief Military Officer, Focus Military Officer, SecDev) Judiciary Offices (SCOTUS, Fmr. SCOTUS, Any other Justices, Attn Gen) Gubernatorial Offices (9 regions) Congressional Offices (9 Regions, same as Governor regions, plus a tenth card for Speaker, could be expanded to include PresProTempore as well) I could add these designations to the cards as well.

We can decide how we make the backs later, but something like that would be cool. I noticed you had Chief Justice twice. One of those is probably the Assoc Justice.

AmericanChaos 0 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Some other proposed cards: Former Senator - Congressional Former Representative - Congressional Former Military Officer - Military Just an idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Former Governor as well? Ex: Gary Johnson or Tim Pawlenty, also Romney before his senate run. These are all former governors (at the time) who ran for President. I don't believe Johnson or Pawlenty are on your list, but this card could still be useful...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can see Former Military, but not the others, since I don't think a sitting former Senator or former US Rep really get any advantage over a sitting Senator/Rep. It would diminish the Focus Sen and Focus Gov. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AmericanChaos 0 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I would think someone who was a senator the last cycle but isn't now would have some advantage. Ex: Outgoing Governor Bryan Sandoval of Nevada or retiring Senator Bob Corker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AmericanChaos 0 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Office Cards update #4. I've fixed some design things, added the former gov, sen, and rep. I also added a key at the end and back-of-the-card design, that could be changed or improved if you wished. Office Cards.docx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
