Looks like a fascinating setup, and essentially the deck order is more or less a seed for the game state. Slay the Spire does something similar with the Daily Run which allows you to compare your run directly against other players who had the exact same setup. I take it there would be some kind of central ledger of starting seeds where the scores would be recorded?
Reading through the rules there is a slight point of variation in that if you’ve gone through the trouble to have a starting seed you might want to also fix the starting player if that’s important to your comparisons. (Actually, reading through it again there’s the line about choosing who goes first and then a couple lines down “All players take turns simultaneously.” so I’m not actually sure how relevant the starting order is, if at all.) Still working out exactly how the dynamics of the game work from the rules text but I’d absolutely try it out if given the chance.

I hadn’t realized you could do that with a board game.
