For this game I was trying to think of different ways to push boundaries in card games. I wanted to really force myself to think outside the box and design something very different from anything I had aver done. Every week I read the game design articles written by Mark Rosewater, Head Vision Designer for Magic the Gathering and one day I was reading about the latest Un-set, special sets where the company bends some rules and experiments with many outside components and interactions. I was inspired to capture only the basic rules I needed for a card game to work and merge them with some unique non-card based interaction. That's when I thought of giving players the power to design their own experience by direct modification of the cards, seeing as I myself had a lot of fun designing a custom magic set many years ago. Customizing something in an established rules framework allows experimentation without leaving a comfort zone. I decided to design the game directly with the multiplayer in mind so I introduced the Chairman mechanic, where players steal a role from one another to score points.
