New post regarding the economy in games and considerations when valuing different elements of the game.
"This would simulate a plentiful resource driving down prices in a realistic supply and demand economy, but could also force a very specific handicap to make sure one player does not get too far ahead of the other players. For example, in Ticket to Ride, placing one track scores 1 point, placing three track scores 4 points, and placing six tracks scores 15 points."

"Sometimes with design projects, it is more important to simply choose a starting point so that there is something to test against, instead of over-thinking or hesitating. I try to have the attitude of no matter what I do I will have to make a huge number of changes, so I should just choose some numbers that look good and get into the testing."
