Thoughts
I played a game of Veney the other day for the first time. We double-lost.
The thing that’s interesting to me about programming Veney is that you could play without understanding the rules. Which is obviously good for beginners but I think even at an advanced level, the players wouldn’t know the exact ordering of precedence of rules. In the way that a top Balatro player doesn’t know exactly what order every combination of jokers triggers in. That’s common in video games, 99.99999% of Minecraft players don’t know the sub-ticking order of block updates, but that “ambiguity” doesn’t exist in chess or in most board games.
