kakero!
hmmm.
interesting.
yknow, i don't think consequences preclude an open-ended game.
in fact, i think its necessary to have consequences. with consequences comes thought, which govern how you respond immediately and react the next time. in fact, consequences just might ensure that a game is open-ended, because of the various ways to respond, putting you onto different paths that weren't open before.
just a thought!
and reggie!
good point about the invincibility. i DO so get bored if i feel like everything's just too safe.
nice to meet someone else who feels the same way!
