It’s interesting that this system would mean you basically can’t interact with players that aren’t adjacent to you. It’s an instance of mechanics guiding the possible narrative space. You and the players next to you will always have a closer narrative connection than those across.

It's something that can be interesting but it also might just be a a limitation(?) of just using LCR as written, and kind of just slapping narrative "guidance" on top of it. I did have some ideas around removing tokens from the center bowl but, it was one of those, "keep it simple and don't overthink" moments, and maybe once I sit on it for a little longer, (and give myself more than one side of a page) I could do something with it, so that if you have more than three players you can actually interact with each other.
I know I debated with some aspect of sending tokens across the table but I didn't know how to phrase it or if there should be limitations to it.
