Dwarf Fortress hot potato is fun. Each player takes care of the fort for N hours, and then passes it on to the next player. Every time someone manages to lose the fort to FUN! they're eliminated and the remaining players start up a new one.
- fbdab103 4y agoSounds like strategic seat-ordering and sabotage is the name of the game. Five minutes before the end of your slot, destroy everything, unleash the kracken, etc.

- p1necone 4y agoI wonder if you could fix the incentives by giving everyone multiple "lives", and half penalizing players who went right before the one who lost the fort.
- MereInterest 4y agoI’ve done it in the past, and it’s much more dependent on the group of people than the rule set. If you have a group trying to game the system, then there’s only so much that the system can do to correct it. If you have a group trying to one-up each other on megaprojects, captive beasts, and over engineered defense mechanisms, then the extrinsic motivation becomes unimportant.
