Great game! I have never watched those kinds of shows so I maybe lack references and it's a bit hard for me to imagine how it would play out, but it sounds really fun. My questions and suggestions:

  • I would love to have examples!
  • Question: it says it's for 3-4 players, but it uses a GM. Does that mean that it would be a GM and only 2 players, maybe 3? I imagined it for more people for some reason...
  • From the text, I get the impression that it would be possible to choose many judges and no hosts. Is that a valid choice? It sounds a bit weird, but I don't see anything in the text against it.
  • I love the safety tool, I didn't know it! Kudos for including one, plus thanks for bringing that specific one to my attention.
  • I think the text is very hard to read in the black boxes: too thin font for white-over-black text.
  • In the moves in particular, the alternating black boxes don't work that well. Apart from the problem above, it visually makes it look like a different section or something. Are the boxes necessary in the move list? It feels like the bold font for the move names should be enough to visually separate when one ends and the next starts. If not, maybe a small ruler would do the job.
