You did a good job. I like your humour and use of a non-dice mechanic.
I am a bit confused about the last part. Is the player with the support of 4 rulers now an ambassador or a ruler? Why do they have to write down a list of words, and who is picking them? If everyone is in the rocket in the end, why does the ruler have to choose an ambassador?
I'm glad you liked it but sorry it wasnt super clear. The person with 4 votes is a ruler with a rocket ship. The rest are fighting for second place (a ride) using words written by the ruler (first to 4). The idea was that to determine who rides along in the ship players play one final round, except now the words they pick from are not from the original pile but from the ruler and can be terrible.
Love the mechanics on this one. I don't know if I like random piles more or that each player must praise a single holy book (and religion). Still the idea behind this is great and the ending is befitting.
I laughed at the ending. Haha, why? Because.
I feel the words that were selected could be used in the design of the spaceship. Maybe synonyms. Nice straightforward and simple mechanics, though. Great job!
Thank you! Looking back I think you are right and I ought to have made the words more specific. Hope you give it a go!
