Current State

Capacitas current_state · weak · fast

Current State (state modulation) is the cross-cutting card of Capacitas: fatigue, stress, pain and mood modulate all capacities simultaneously and temporarily – independent of the stable baseline Capacitas.

Design question – What state are your players in – and does your game account for fatigue, stress, pain and mood?

Reference example – Ring Fit Adventure: whoever is tired turns down the strain without losing progress. Tetris late at night: overtired, you make mistakes that otherwise never happen. Football: the professional player after knee surgery – her skill is unchanged, but for the time being she can hardly run.
