Board Games

Was thinking about what I play board games for (fun + collecting mechanisms and their intuitions), in light of what I hope those mechanisms can do (empower the disadvantaged), and it started making me wonder if you could make a board game where:
1. Players start with deliberately unfair distribution of points/resources.
2. Resources could be purchased directly from other players at agreed/colluded prices.

Could we start a genre that develops the muscles for coordinating under severe imbalance? Seems like it could develop more relevant skills than the normal ("zero to win") type games today.

co founder of @metamask . Making computers behave for us.

sort of a "kobayashi maru" genre? also kinda reminds me of "among us", since assumedly there's a player that would automatically draw aggro, and there are forced coordinated actions.

would be cool to simulate an oversimplified equities market w/ random outsized returns & black swans.
