#WhatDidYouPlayMondays John Company@boardgames@sopuli.xyz @geekygoodies@mastodon.world #boardgamesMy second time playing this anti-colonialist title. I like how the mechanics help the players better impersonate the "bad guys" by having them constantly backstab each other while managing the same company. The final outcome is given by a simple ranking by score. Because of this, I am wondering what's preventing a player from having the company go bankrupt as soon as they get a slight edge. Is it the fear of ruining the whole game for everybody? Is it the Company Failure deck being super-random? I would test this myself, but I would need to be in the lead first lolhttps://wehrlegig.com/collections/main-items/products/john-company-second-edition

I think it's better to approach John Company as a simulation more than a game. You're right that the lead player has an incentive to wreck the company if it will give them the win. That's Dehli, baby!
