You don't have to implement the full feature. Try a prototype version that is intentionally smaller to see how "fun" the mechanic is. Then go fork of the other prototype mechanic and test it. Because both are prototypes that are deliberately small in scope, you won't feel bad tossing them when making the "real" implementation.
