Ambition I had to look up, Ludic I already knew. The short explanation is that both of them have way too much potential for collusion, malicious or not, to really work as serious tournament games.
- pw0ncakes 17y agoLudic is more of a concept game. How would collusion work in Ambition? I tend to agree that neither would make a good tournament game. Ludic for the reason stated above; if you're going to introduce something "second-order" as a game variable, you need to contain it. Ambition because it's a 4-player game without teams, and most of the tournament games tend to be either 2-party (Chess, Go, or Bridge, the latter being a contest between two teams) or have a 1-vs.-N flavor like Poker. Ambition seems to have the Puerto Rico property of being very solid against certain kinds of annoying luck, but having a strong table-position element.
