Hello,
I'm working on a game that has a modified worker placement mechanic. There are 6 action spaces that players can use, and each space has 2 possible actions that a player can take, which give them a different benefit---and players don't reveal which of the 2 possible actions they are choosing until the end of the round. Players take turns deploying workers during the round, but players are not prohibited from using the same action spaces as other players--so one space may end up with, lets say, 3 different workers on it, all from different players. Then at the end of the round, those 3 players will have to announce which of the 2 actions they are choosing. The choices affect the other players on that action space, so I need a good method for determining the order of resolving the effects of the actions on those spaces (In other words, which of the 3 players chooses to "reveal" first?) Ideas I have are:
*The order in which players placed workers on the space is the order in which they reveal (this is clunky, hard to keep track of)
*The starting player for the round reveals first, and players move to the left (there is a starting player token that passes to the left each round).
*A Race for the Galaxy style turning over of a card to reveal the choice.
I would appreciate any other thoughts!
Thank you!
Thanks everyone. I've reworked it a bit to bring it down to 4 action spaces, which each have 2 different possible actions on them. I think I am going to try a A/B side simultaneous reveal as to which action at that space each player chooses. If that doesn't work I'll try the 1st to place there / 2nd to place there, etc.
Thanks!
