A friend suggested the "how to make a one-hour larp" chapter from Nine Space Games might be inspirational and a good format for folks to try out for the Golden Cobras, so I updated it and added a neutral worked example. I hope it inspires you! bpglink.com/freeform

Dice design solves board gaming's most surprisingly complex problem—who goes first?
It took nearly 15 years, researchers around the world and enough computing power to search through a universe of possibilities to answer one question: Who goes first?
