Ludum Dare Review Meta Game by mrPenguin
Hi! Welcome to this awesome game!
To make this game I used the genere of reviewing games on the Ludum Dare Web page, and the board game one.
To play this game you will need:
1. Find an oponent (or multiple opponents!) and consider yourself penguins that want to grab fishes for the winter.
2. Each player/penguin has to pick a rating theme: ( Innovation, Fun, Theme, Graphics ... )
3. By turns, each player will pick one of the puddles of the image, and roll a dice. If the number of the dice on the table below the puddle has a fish, add a star on the characteristic you picked (innovation, fun ...). (double for the one that has two fishes).
4. If the number is a skull, one of the sharks of the puddle will eat you and you will have to represent another penguin (so move all the stars of the counter back to 0).
5. The first to reach the 5 stars(fishes) will win! (now you can play again, or not play evermore).
6. Extra: if you don't have so many friends, you can play with multiple rating characteristics each, increasing the amount of fishes/stars needed.
7. You can also play by yourself with different penguins, and pretend that you have friends on the comment. (As you may have noticed this is a solo project for the compo, so no shame <3 )
8. You have to have fun! (I like adding this condition, because this way if you are not having fun is only because you are not following the rules <3<3<3<3<3 )

To roll the dice, you can use this gif I made for you : )
(to roll, click it with the mouse and drag the image, and a frozen frame of the dice will be your rolled number : ) on mobile you can screenshot or whatever ) (Just realized that this mechanic does not work on Chrome, you shall use https://www.random.org/dice/?num=1): (

Be happy, have fun and leave comments! : D

Did you read the description?
Happy to see that you won! (I would have been a bit worried otherwise though xd)
And since I have no friends over I decided to let the computer play, which became a meta game in itself :P
Btw the third puddle is totally OP! You only need an average of 18.16 dice throws to get to 5 stars and it wins 64.37% of the games with 3 players where all pick different puddles.
The second puddle has a crazy variance though.
Thanks for this cool game!
I admit that I should have been more careful with probabilities anyway : p
A very intersting idea for a game. :laughing:
Not expected to see a board game here. xD
Nice mix, well done! :)
XD it was a joke anyway to play with the shitty theme, that makes no sense, because you can't combine incompatible things, because they start being compatible at the moment you manage to combine them.
I may or may have not coded another project, and made this one as a joke, and to see how people react to it : p
