Cactus Game Design Message Boards

If you are interested in joining the Nov/Dec ROOT, please post on this thread.  This tournament will also be going for 5 weeks (starting Nov 7th, and skipping the week of Thanksgiving).

Only rescuing opponent's LSs is out:
This month, we will NOT be using the proposed rule of only allowing players to rescue their opponent's LSs, but I would like everyone to share their experiences with that last month here

"Dominant Cap" experiment is in:
We  WILL be experimenting with another experimental rule.  For a deck to legal this month, there can ONLY be as many dominants in the deck as there are LSs (Hopper doesn't count).  At the end of games, please reset the game and allow your opponent to look at your deck to check the number of dominants.  Please share your feedback here regarding how this rule has affected your games.

I'm in this month. Will we be using intro/prep phase?

Will we be using intro/prep phase?

Nope, standard rules other than limiting dominants in decks to be equal to the number of LSs in the deck (not counting Hopper).

Also, I'll be playing again (hopefully doing better than last month)

Midnight on Sunday.

I know there probably isn't any other way to do it, but I don't like the idea of revealing my deck to every opponent in the middle of a tournament.

Prof Underwood said that you have to show your opponent your deck after you finish your game to prove that you have the proper number of dominants for the cap.
