I'm new. (Hi.)
Anyway, I've been iterating this game with some friends and it has finally settled down. After a bit too much muddling with the wiki, I have a mostly complete page on it that mostly needs a few more examples, which I'll be working on.
The game ended up with mechanics from a few other games - simultaneous reveal/decktet order on actions (Thricewise), six currencies (Magnate), with inspiration from Citadels and Race For The Galaxy on a few other things.
If you do look at it, let me know if the rules seem to be clear - I tried, but haven't put the rules in front of anyone "cold" yet.
