I am already in 2 games so can't join but if I was I would advise against public player scores. I have only played in one game with PPS and because we could see after a while one or two players were far outstripping the rest of us the enthusiasm to keep playing on began to wane.

The underdogs might have grouped together to take them on but it didn't happen and the game sort of fizzled out. About half the players kept going in a rather desultory fashion for a few turns but it was eventually won by the players left behind after the rest of us picked up our toys and walked off into the sunset.

Not having PPS will not stop you seeing you are 5th or 6th but at least it doesn't show how far behind you might be and there is always hope you can do better!

A single winner will also make alliances harder to form and hold as each side will always wonder when the other partner is going to turn on them. Unless of course you want it to be a single player game with no alliances - which you can achieve if you say every other player has to be set to enemy.
