Title: House of Fortune - a Dice/Board/Gambling-Game
Post by: Naekis on August 30, 2007, 08:36:01 pm
Hello

I've found many other ideas for ingame-(mini)games and I've heared there were a testing for a minigame at the Broken Doors, but I hope you will not punish me for starting a new topic about it.

I've found a game which is medieval, so it fit's the time, and which would be nice to play at the tavernes.
And I think it would focuse more RP if some people waste their time in the taverne by losing their hard earned money too.
There were two descriptions in english, which nearly says the same, just formulated in different ways. (see rules below (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=29826.msg341882#msg341882))

I don't know how difficult it is to build it in PS, but the rolling dices are implemented yet and all which is needed is a board where every player can drop or grap trias from. I would try to help on the widget with my little knowledge if I could, too.

Edit: Here is a board(-backdrop) like it could be

hmm..this could work but they need to set up a script so that the /rolls are linked to the minigame somehow or put in a in-minigame dice.

i like this idea

If the dices were linked on the board, that would be very nice, but if that is to much work at the moment (as I think), an interactable board would be enough for the first tests. Every player is able to /roll some dices ingame and than he has to put or to grap his trias by hand (like it's in RL, too)

Here is a text for an info-button which includes the rules.

House of Fortune - a Dice/Board/Gambling-Game

For this game you need three or more players, two six-sided dices [/roll 2 6] and some Trias

Rules:
  • The game begins with all players putting one Trias on the 7 square.
  • If a 4 is rolled, the player skips his/her turn.
  • If a 7 is rolled, the player puts a Trias on the 7 square. (The 7 square is called "The Wedding" and players always put a Trias on 7 because one always brings a gift to a wedding.)
  • If a 2 is rolled, the player takes all Trias on the board, except for those on the 7 square. (The 2 square is called "The Lucky Groffel")
  • If a 12 is rolled, the player takes all Trias on the board, including those on the 7 square. (The 12 square is called "The Octarch" and players take all Trias when they roll a 12 because nothing can be denied to a octarch.)
  • If any other number is rolled (3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11), the player checks that square. If there is a Trias that square, the player takes it. If there is no Trias on that square, the player places one Trias on the square.

Edit: Can any dev, maybe Karyuu or Xillix (I know you got much other problems in this forum right now and I'm sorry for that), please say something about the possibility to implement this game?

its implementation is as important as cooking. And eactly as important a the already in-game minigame.
It got implemented only because someone made it by themselves. And i mean coded.
If the game is ready, it most likely go in game.
What you may ask though is if it is good enough.

I don't have to be a dev to tell it.

Personaly i would love to play this game.And it would make the atmosphere in Kada less for lame(no offense) badie vs goodie arguments and more for relaxation and fun.
BTW this game would be very uninteresting as you only put 1 tria and only get one tria when you roll something.Maybe make the ammount you put on the board decideable.That way players could realy start a high bid gamble.Make it more sporty in its roots.Also the ability toi spectate would be nice.
Well anyways it would be fun to have it as it is.

Naekis, this is a wonderful idea. I'd love to see it in game soon.

An interesting concept, hopefully once that is done they can move onto other medieval games that are well known, such as chess.  Imagine the creativity!  Move your klyros to check your opponents Vigesemi!

I can actually see myself spending hours playing this (or something like it) in the tavern. Really hope some variation of this game makes it into an update one of these days.
