I have a game idea that is playable with different level of complexity and rules. But it also have the advantage that the more complex rules could be integrated in the middle of a game.
So I thought that I could have 3 levels of rules: Beginner, intermediate, advanced. If you ware new to the game you start with the beginner rules, then after a few turns, you can add the intermediate rules and later you can add the advanced rules while playing the game.
Not only it would allow people to play with different level of complexity, but the learning could be done progressively.
Do you think it could be a good idea or it will make the rules too confusing?
If fact, if certain players find the advanced rules too complex, or they just want a fluffy game experience, they could play strictly with the novice rules.
Another idea could be to have 2 rule books. One learn as you play and another complete rule book a bit like fantasy flight games.
