Rule Complexity Preference

Habitus simple ↔ complex · medium

Rule Complexity Preference describes the spectrum between a preference for simple and for complex rule systems.

Design question – Do your players prefer a quick start with few rules or deep, complex rule systems?

Reference example – Crazy Eights: explained in a minute. Twilight Imperium: a rulebook that fills an evening. Football: on the kickabout pitch “first to five goals wins”, in the league a rulebook with video review, offside and handball.
