I would have also accepted A Study in Emerald 1e and Robinson Crusoe. Those were the three main inspirations during development; all beautiful chaotic messes that tell the best stories.

My goal when developing Stationfall was to smooth its edges just enough to keep it from completely breaking. Any more than that and you wouldn't be able to do all of the wonderful ridiculous things you can do. And to even speak of it in the same breath as Cosmic Encounter is enough praise for me.

Not just justifiable, but encouraged. You're welcome.

Hi, I developed Stationfall. I think 6 players is great, even for beginners, and more than that can be great too if people know what they're doing. Also note that you can play with teams, so an 8 player team game isn't too dissimilar from a 4 player regular game.

There are several really great video tutorials on YouTube that I would recommend sending people to. I really like this one.
