Polis additional scenarios and settings
Posted: 02 April 2016, 19:02
In the manual for Polis, there are two alternative starting scenarios in addition to the main scenario. Additionally, on the BGG forums, the designer Fran Diaz also recommended playing the game with 3 rounds instead of 4 (ending after 5a instead of 5b) and on a recent podcast he even mentioned that making the game 3 rounds is one thing he would have done differently today. Some people also think that the game is better balanced when played at 3 rounds instead of 4.
As of right now, the BGA implementation of Polis only allows for playing the main scenario and only at 4 rounds. It would be great if there were additional options when creating a game:
1) the ability to choose from the 3 starting scenarios, and
2) the ability to choose 3 or 4 rounds.
While the BGA implementation offers a superior play experience overall, additional scenarios are already available in another online implementation of the game. These additional options would make the BGA implementation definitively the best there is and add a LOT of life to the game.
