 New Game Idea: President |

Hi People,
This is a new game idea, based on a four-player chess variant, which I had (and lost) quite a few years ago.
The map (medium dense, 360 stars, 1200 ly width, 60 ly separation between stars) looks like this:
[img]http://www.shc.edu.bz/les/stars/8plch.gif[/img]
Eight players start with their homeworld on the edges, north, south, east, west, north-east, north-west, south-east, and south-west.
The referee, starts in the center, with an SS 1WW, which will not colonize any worlds and will vacate the Presidential position, before any player is in a position to make a claim on the world. (Basically the referee will just scan the center, and check for victory, needing only scouting ships to do this)
There are three types of goal planets:
1) "The House" each position holds a vote value of 1.
2) "The Senate" each position holds a vote value of 2.
3) "The President" the single position holds a vote value of 4.
The goal planets are NOT considered acquired until a starbase of at least "Space Station" hull has been constructed on the planet.
When the Presidential position has been acquired, a vote is determined. If the player holding the presidential position, holds more votes than all other players, then the game is won.
...
If not, then the state is considered to be in an "Overthrow," in which case the referee randomly determines what happens:
This may be either a gift from the President, to the main Opposer, or the converse. The gift may be:
minerals, ships, or a valid planet (also randomly determined, with higher weight given to non-VC planets), or most likely, nothing.
The demand, must be met by the required player as soon as possible, and the referee will act as the intermediary, if an intermediary is required.
Rules of Expansion:
A planet may not be validly colonized unless there is a validly owned planet adjacent its position.
A "validly owned planet" is one consisting of a starbase of at least "Space Station" hull, in a validly colonized position.
If a President is claimed he must have all valid planets, otherwise the state is still considered to be "Overthrow" and he must rectify this situation.
Play continues until a valid President is determined.
Setup: All races start with one planet only. (PP and IT lose their secondary planet) The referee will ensure this during setup which should take a minimum amount of time. All PRTs are open.
Thoughts? ....
