Describe the solution you'd like To increase the appeal, awarding badges to players that have the highest score in a particular scoring item would be good.

@maimoona-bashir, do you have an idea for this? How about adding a new column to the scorecard for "awards" and have the user's icon shown on the scorecard row to indicate who "won" that criteria?

to chime in...

I have been thinking about this for Agile mode in version 3 as a way to reward good programming, but not give extra point bonuses, since agile mode will have enough of those. The easiest are things like playing the most of a card type, but they would also work well for things like playing all the safeties in a game, or having no malware at the end of the game.

It is even possible that it would work well to replace bonus points in the normal game with just badges. Players generally like getting awards in games even if they don't give you extra points. They could be a fun way to encourage certain behaviour without making the player feel that they have to keep track of too many side objectives for extra points.

Probably putting in something like this for version 2 could give us an idea of whether it would be a good addition for version 3 as well.
