GAC - Hiding Score

I’m a no vote for this - but for slightly different reasons. I feel that showing the score in GAC opens up in some cases the opportunity for a bit of interaction, jeopardy and a bit of mental fencing with your opponent. You can leave them guessing whether you have any attacks left or you can feel a bit of a buzz as their score clicks closer to yours - will that last defence hold out just long enough…. Take away the scores and it’s just another sad solitary activity that you choose to do in the bathroom or wherever.

Any aspect of the game can be a tactical opportunity- it’s up to you to have a bit of fun with it or to make it a frustration.

I agree. My favorite GAC rounds have been where with no verbal interaction between us, but we have taken turns. We each do an opening salvo to get points on the board. A little later one of us clears a territory then the other does and it just proceeds over the timespan until the end, trading attacks and seeing which one has the edge.
