    Inbreeding does indeed tend to cause serious trouble over generations, regardless of the genetic pool of the species (Ludens?), though it can get sharper in effect with a shrinking group. the Reason is because it tends to concentrate defective, or deleterious, mutations over a period of time, to the point of being incompatible with a healthy life. a simple example: suppose there are a pair, husband and wife, both having a gene, Xx. X is doinent, x is recessive. the recessive one gives people hell (say, born with bad hearts). the punett square will make the following children: XX, Xx, Xx, and xx. now, lets mate two at random, and see how the xx (bad heart) concentration changes. believe me, it goes up very quickly. here is a real life example. notice his jaw:

    *seriously, they should be considered 1st world: they have government care for people, and have modern infrastructures, high incomes, and good economies (and Kuwait has real freedom of speech). their only problem is that they are all oil addicted, though that is changing...slowly.
