I'm only here for the team game. Not going to join an individual just yet. Need a break.
We could try to make the team game more tempting though, if anyone has any ideas. I very much enjoy my team mates but it could be that some may be more interested if there are, for instance: random team member assignments, random kingdom assignment, random regions (where teams may not be together, for instance), theme based kingdom picks (no magic, no flying... etc). I would be in support of mixing things up.
I do think its important to have 12 players, though. Part of the fun is talking to other players and getting their ideas and part of the challenge is getting everyone on the same page. Here is an interesting idea:
We could set up a situation were there are four "team captains" (these could be nominated or the result of some sort of competition). The 8 "team players" pick their kingdoms first... then the team captains have to pick their team players based not only on the players characteristics, but also the kingdoms they have chosen. Once the captains have picked their two team players, they finally get to pick a kingdom to round out the team.
