Rex vs secret victory conditions
#1
After looking at most of the games that have started up or will soon start up, it seems the majority of them are Rex--victory by controlling 4 regions--as opposed to secret victory conditions. Since i haven't been around, just wondering why people are deciding to play Rex as opposed to the secret victory conditions, as the conditions seem like a fun way to win. Does Rex make the game go longer? Makes it more balanced?

I would say it was a combination of both of the things you mentioned.

If you study past results you'll find a few games that ended before 18 by SVC. Most players were not happy with this result.

Also there was a certain amount of luck involved with getting an easier SVC than your opponents. The REX makes it more balanced as you suggest.

Secret Victory conditions will be changing as well. I imagine Rex will become less common then.

Please do not take any of my comments as a personal insult or as a criticism of the game 'Alamaze', which I very much enjoy. Rather, I hope that my personal insight and unique perspective may, in some way, help make 'Alamaze' more fun, a more successful financial venture, or simply more sustainable as a long-term project. Anyone who reads this post should feel completely free to ignore, disregard, scorn, implement, improve, dispute, or otherwise comment upon its content.

Wow, should be really interesting to see how these new secret conditions will play out. 3rd cycle looks set to be pretty great.
