[quote="Nasher1976"]It sometimes feels unfair that the last player to pick a nation gets no choice and ends up with a terrible nation. It also reduces the strategy of the game and increases the luck. An idea would be to increase the number of nations to the number of players +1. E.g.s in a 2 player game there would be 3 nations to pick from and in a 6 player game there would be 7 nations to pick from.[/quote]

Yes this was to be an option, not forcing everyone to adopt this. Just like 6 player is not in the official rules but is an option here.

The reason someone may be opposed to it as an option is that it ruins the convenience afforded by having community standards. Can you imagine some players feeling stuck that they play some games under one rule and some games over another? Or feeling that games are less exciting when we shuck off the outer layer of Nations and focus on the stronger core nations in each game? Perhaps these players have seen elsewhere the fruitless and detrimental power creep that results when players house-rule components of a game.
Options seem harmless if you only consider logical rhetoric, "how can
this rule
bother
you
when you can opt out?" If you also consider practice, you can probably see why other players may oppose additional options.

I voted „no“; the poll ask for a general change of rules. For this i dont agree. There is nothing to say against an option, if Mabi like to install this. But I wouldnt choose this Option. First Position willbecome too strong, imho. Greetings Talaborn

I would like to see this included as an option. The fact that the first player doesn't have a choice is a bit annoying.
Voyages of Marco Polo does this already, using n+1 characters, and in my group we even play it with n+2 because while several characters have impressive powers, you might still end up with 2 pretty bad ones... Same with Clans of Caledonia, and probably others I'm forgetting.
Many other games will let each player choose between two powers, or between all left in the game.
Santa Maria is the only one I know where with max players the last to pick only has one option, and I think it's the poorer for it.
