For those who weren't around last year when we did the KOTR test game, here are links to the relevant threads. The KOTR test was actually originally designed to emphasize individual ownership of every aspect of the game. As you can see, it bogged down in complexity very, very quickly. One rule I learned from it: If you have to post an Excel spreadsheet every turn just to make the game make sense, it's too complex.
