Scenario- I know I won the game, I'm now spawning 4 extra brambles during garbage time (fantasy football reference). This is even easier to do with veggienauts because you can spam thorns which makes it difficult for the enemy to mount a comeback.

Now I'm pondering whether there might be a way to counteract this. What if points for spawning Brambles were only awarded if you spawned a minimum number of thorns with that Bramble, say three? Would people really stall and spend forty wits just to spawn four extra Brambles and spawn three thorns from each one?

Or maybe I could do something nutty like only count for extra points the Brambles spawned prior to the final 25% of the game's moves or the final 10 moves, whichever is less.

I think it might be a good idea to max out brambles at 2 and get rid of the feedback points. Two brambles can have some utility but any number higher than that is just excessive.

This format would make points more valuable while encouraging the use of veggie specials in the game, I think it would be fun.

It's your tournament though so if you have a different vision then go for it.

Right, it's excessive. The idea was to give people points for doing something excessive and wasteful and still winning. I think I got the idea from a joke TheRawkHawk made somewhere.

Maybe five is a bit much though. I might reduce it to three. And maybe Bramble spawning should be worth a bit more and thorn scrambling should be worth a bit less. I'll have to think about it.
