conway's game of life

i did the basic conway’s game of life, its got all of the rules and it works pretty good. And i experimented with changing the rules’ parameters and if there is anything changed either the cells die really easly (for example reproduction to 4 neighbors instead of 3) or they never die (reproduction 2 neighbors) and its just not good. So the balance is perfect with the normal rules. And while brainstorming how to make it a game more like me and better. And i got this idea to make a multiplayer game that just grabs different players and gives them some space (a grid) where they can build some cell structures and whoever’s structure is last alive wins
