Back to Card Game, RE: location/proximity stuff. While with Bang, it makes sense that you play off of where everyone is sitting. After the first round, in a gladiator game, you'd think there would be more movement between combatants. So I was thinking, maybe there are 2 character cards for each character. One that you keep in front of you that has stats/hp and that you play weapons on and then one in the center of the table that gets moved around while everyone is fighting each other. Example, Rudy sidesteps Jons attack, putting Erick between himself and Jon, but now exposing himself to Jonny who was 2 ppl away before. I dunno. That might get weird, but just trying to think how to represent that stuff without going all mini/grid based. Keep it abstract but still visually clear enough that at a glance you know who your biggest threats are, etc.
