Question: is this game good for students experienced in ASL, or does knowing how to sign already remove some of the challenge?

If it’s a mixed group, the fun will be in learning from each other’s perspectives. I wouldn’t worry about that. We’ll be playing in this configuration before May and I’ll give feedback if we don’t have a blast. ;)
The question holds if the whole group is fluent in the same SL. But even then, it seems far fetched to say every one shares the exact same idiom, and apprehends language the same way. The fun then would still be in witnessing and learning from this diversity. In my experience outside of this game, the contrary would be a sad shade of weird.
The overarching question is where is the line between fun workshop and enlightening game. If you’re already reading this page, chances are you will benefit more from playing the game than worrying about how it will go XD
