Hi,

already in "First Steps", we had criticism about how long the game "overshooted" (First Steps ended in turn 90). I'm watching this game's referee; here are his dice rolls so far, from the log file:

After these two games' experience, it seems to me a good idea now to increase the end probability. At least it seems to me that most players consider the extension time more wear than fun.

Doubling it would make next turn's end probability 65% (not 32%), and probably be enough to kill this bastard within one or two turns Objections?
