Asymmetric Roles

Ludic Social Structure modifier · asymmetric

Different agents (or teams) have different abilities, rules, resources or win conditions. The game does not treat all alike.

Design question – Not all play the same game – different roles, different rules. How do you ensure each role feels complete and satisfying?

Reference example – Among Us: the crew completes tasks, the impostors sabotage – two fundamentally different games in one match. Football: whoever is in goal plays by different rules from the outfield.
