Forgive me for beating this dead horse, but Paul's
simplified version is worth a look. How 'bout these?
GWC:
- you get one point for each game you play in (say ten
turns) and one additional point for each you finish.
Six points and you get a free startup.
Player Rating:
- at setup, ask players to rate their level of
experience: Newcomer, Wanderer, Chieftain, Sage, Game
Master. That's it.
Yes, yes, subjective and all that, and some newbies
play better than some grizzled veterans, etc, but it's
simple, clear, and it should guide first-timers away
from the WK startup, which is one of the reasons
ME-PBM said they'd like a rating.
