I can't wait to try it!!
The Utah crowed, many of whom you may recall, have been VERY into Twilight Imperium, and I must admit that my itch for turn-based strategy games now exceeds my itch for roleplaying (mainly because it's SO hard to find a rp group). At any rate, we bounced around an idea trying to resolve the "spoiler" problem with TI (the losing player plays kingmaker way too often). We didn't get the game made, but the idea was to have a game that, instead of trying to eliminate the spoiler role, built it into the game mechanics. We barked up a different tree, but I think your three victory positions is brilliant solution to the spoiler problem—why throw in the towel and backstab someone when you may very well end up in a victory position?
Can't wait to play it! Planning any trips to DC soon? :)
