Simple, and lovely. As simple as it is, I'd suggest proposing it as a Rule with a Win Condition, rather than a contest. Then other gameplay can build on it. But cool as a contest too just because we're going slow on proposals right now. For example, an extension (for later!) is that one time, a long time ago, I ran a side-betting contest. Where player A could (secretly) bet that Player B would win Agpra, so if B won the game, A would win the contest (and so also win Agora). Made for some interesting side-dynamics. Trading cards could be part of this (if you have the majority holding of cards of someone who wins the game, you win the game - tho that wouldn't be secret of course). -G.
