Well met!

I'm thinking that synergy is undesirable here. Without it, roles matter more, and a tighter balance can be achieved - maybe. It's worth a try to eliminate it . . .

There are a staggering number of great Cards at 200 points . . .

The Pool consists entirely of 130 - 200 point Cards - for what it's worth . . .

Finally got Hit Girl some company at the bottom . . .

How many roles can you find?

Purple Reign?

Well met!

Continuing my Kurosawa kick: Borrowed text from primary web sources here. Then created a mashup of the characters from the movies with those available in C3G. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.

Drafting From A Finite Pool (16 Cards)

Posted May 14th, 2016 at 02:26 PM by kolakoski

Well met!

This post references a couple of C3G threads, Drafting from a Finite Pool and The 16 Card Pool Thread, as well as my scenario containing such a Pool, Under the Canopy. From The 16 Card Pool Thread:

The concept is simple. Create a 16 Card Pool for a 4 Player Snake draft. Snake draft: It's a draft where the positions flip flop every round. For example, if someone drafts first during the very first round, they'll draft last the following round, then they'll draft first again in the next round, and so on. This type of draft is the most fair. The Pool may be for any Map and/or Scenario - or none at all. Naming your Pool is optional.

The latest Pool I've created, from a stricter system by Wriggz, after some back and forth with Tornado, is presented below.

Under the Canopy Draft Results!

Well met!

During a break in the action on Wednesday (chas' Criss Cross Scape), we held the draft for Under the Canopy. Other than Radioactive Man being taken first and Werewolf last, nothing went as I expected. Here are the results:
