Balancing Asymmetry in Game Design

This chapter explores the dynamics of character powers and game balance in UFO50, contrasting it with board games and the asymmetry that enhances player experience. Participants discuss the importance of intentional imbalances and how they can foster engagement and excitement, while also considering the implications of overbalancing. The conversation further delves into the evolution of game design philosophies, personal narratives in character development, and the deeper understanding of project cohesion.
