American Doubles!

At least that's what we call it over here in Australia, the concept is when you're playing pool and you've got one player vs two players... American Doubles... A 3 player game where it goes player 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 3 in turn rotation would be an interesting other dimension to the game. I think for fairness sake (and because of the extra challenge) the player who creates the game is the Single, and then two other players challenge him/her?

Also, I think the player 1 needs to start with a double drop, as if it is a four player game, or maybe the same number of territories, but with 5 armies on each (3 armies = 2 avail armies to attack, hence doubled to 5, with 4)

What do people think?

Na not for me,
sounds like all the advantage is with the 1 player.
Player 2 and 3 would have to wait 3 turns for another go, in a 24 hour game this will be an age of a wait and player 1 gets two turns to wipe 1 of them out before they can even fight back.

Also would player 1 lose double points if they lost??
