Had an interesting encounter with this at a local con. Early on I got shoved to the back of the pack because everyone else’s incentives happen to favor clobbering me. There is a funky feature where to be a “winner” you only have to beat one other player assigned to you at the start of the game. But when I looked at all my paths forward, they all wound up benefiting that player more than me. So with no real hope of a win, I decided to adopt a strategy of “burn them all, Ralphie!” which eventually lead to a traitor victory. Interestingly, the traitor turned out to be my assigned “you must score hire than this person” person.

The owner of the game and host of the event swore that he would never ever play a board game with me again.

Kinda reminded me of Supremacy in that when you equip a competitive game with a doomsday switch, it kinda seems inevitable that somebody is going to get backed into a corner, and flip it.
