Sounds like an interesting addition to the game. Did you find the players were engaged with it? I’ve had a bit of hit and miss experience with mini games in terms of the player buy in over the years.
Yes and no. Some players went for it, some not. It takes a certain type. So what I did was handle the brunt of the mini game elements with those who wanted to as pre rolls before sessions. That way I could read results in and indeed after the session. This was most needed for the likes of Genlab Alpha, where the war between resistance and machines is ongoing. For Mutant it feels more important to the players as it affects their home and state of welfare. The elements that come up become a background theme and narrative for the session, besides all the exploration they do.
