GAME RULES / HOW TO PLAYOBJECTIVE:

Collect cards that give you dice and the power to manipulate dice over the course of the game. Try to roll a seven-of-a-kind before anyone else can to gain an advantage in endgame: to roll the largest X-of-a-kind possible!

TURN ORDER:

At the start of the game, one player (chosen randomly) receives the Shield.
The game is divided into rounds. During a round, each player takes one turn, starting with the Shield holder and going down the player list (wrapping around).
At the end of a round, the Shield holder passes the shield one seat up the player list.
The new Shield holder starts the next round. That player will get two turns in a row, as they went last during the previous round.

ON YOUR TURN:

Step 1: roll 3 six-sided dice, using dice tags. If you have cards that let you roll extra dice, you

must

use those cards now. All dice rolled are active and in play.
Step 2: freeze at least one active die. Frozen dice are locked in place; they cannot be changed, re-rolled, or unfrozen. Frozen dice are still in play but are no longer active.
Step 3: Choose one of the following:

Re-roll all active dice and go back to Step 2.
You must have at least one active die to choose this option.
Take a card from the board. You must meet the card's requirements; you must not already have a copy of the card (unless it is a Charlatan).
Choosing this option ends your turn.

At the end of your turn, your used cards reset; cards carry over from round to round. Dice unfreeze and return to the general pool; dice results do not carry over from turn to turn.

Taking the King triggers Endgame. If you take the King, also take the Queen.

Spoiler: NOTES ON REQUIREMENTS:

USING CARDS:

Cards can only be used during your turn.
Cards that let you roll extra dice during Step 1 are mandatory. They must be used during Step 1.
All other cards are optional and may be used at any time during Step 2 - before freezing, after freezing, or even in the middle of freezing.
Each card can only be used once per turn. No card can affect an individual die more than once per turn. (An individual die can be affected by multiple cards, though.)
No card can ever bring a die's value below 1 or above 6. The Serving Maid cannot turn a 5 into a 7. The Philosopher cannot turn a 2-4 into a 0-6.
No card can ever change the value of a frozen die or allow a frozen die to be re-rolled.
To use a card, post that you are doing so and state what you're doing with it.
If using a card that brings a new die into play, state that it does so. ("Use Laborer - gives me a 1.")
Dice from the Laborer and similar cards are not in play until their cards are activated. While not in play, they do not count towards meeting requirements; they cannot be frozen or re-rolled. Once their cards are activated, their dice come into play with their preset value; they can be frozen as their preset value or re-rolled during Step 3.
If using the Fool or Merchant, state which die/dice you are re-rolling. ("Use Fool - re-rolling a 2." / "Use Merchant - re-rolling all active dice.")
If using a card that changes the value of dice, state which die/dice you are changing and what you are changing it to. ("Use Serving Maid - change a 3 into a 6." / "Use Noblewoman - change all 4s to 5s and one 3 to a 4.")

ENDGAME:

When a player claims the King and Queen, finish the current round. The player with the Shield passes it up the list as normal. The next round is the final round - endgame.
During endgame, the player with the Queen skips their turn when it comes up. They take their turn at the end of the round, after everyone else has taken theirs. Turn order otherwise remains normal.
This round determines the winner of the game
. Each player gets one turn to roll the largest X-of-a-kind possible. The player whose X-of-a-kind is largest wins.
Players may not take cards during endgame. A player's turn ends when they freeze all their dice.
If a player cannot possibly win, their turn is skipped.
More dice in an X-of-a-kind wins over fewer dice. (Eight 1s beats seven 6s.)
If tied: higher valued dice win over lower valued dice. (Seven 6s beats seven 1s.)
If still tied: the King serves as a tiebreaker, if one of the tied players has it. (The player with the King only has to tie the best score to win.)
If the player with the King isn't in the tie: earlier in the turn order wins over later in the turn order. (Anyone else has to beat the best score to win.)

Edits since game start:

Added a line to the rules clarifying that used cards reset after each turn and are re-usable in future turns.
Added a line to the rules clarifying that used dice do not carry over from round to round; each turn starts with a fresh roll.

Activity / Conduct RulesAll site rules apply.

Players have 48 hours from the time I announce their turn to start their turn. A player starts their turn when they roll the dice for the first time.
Players have 24 hours from starting their turn to finish their turn.
When starting a timer, I will start the timer from the top of the next hour.
Players on V/LA, or players requesting extra time (with a banner displayed or announced in the thread) will get an extra 24 hours per deadline.
When a player gets two turns in a row, each turn is considered separate for deadline purposes.

Please do not edit or delete posts made during your turn, especially posts with dice tags in them.

Please make sure to state which dice you are freezing before rolling dice.

Spoiler: Missed deadlines

Spoiler: Takebacks

If a mistake, error, or illegal play occurs, I will do one of the following:
- Let the mistake stand. I will do this if the mistake is inconsequential, is a simple omission, results in the worst possible outcome for the player making it (taking a Fool / Charlatan), or if the mistake is not discovered by the end of the next player's turn (except for serious, game-breaking errors).
- Rewind the game to the state before the mistake was made. I will do this for errors that may have a lasting impact on the game state (taking a card that a player is not entitled to; changing a frozen die; etc). I will not do this if the mistake isn't discovered by the end of the player's next turn, unless the error is game-breaking.
- Auto-play the player's hand (using the rules for inactive players).

I will only do this if a player edits or deletes a post with dice in it.

Presence of a "Static" tag alone will not trigger this clause; they sometimes crop up in odd places.
- If you accidentally roll dice incorrectly, goof up, or make a mistake,

do not edit or delete the post with the error.

Flag me down and I'll make a ruling. Also see: Takebacks and Precedents.

Spoiler: Precedents

If a player fails to re-roll a die that should have been re-rolled, but then re-rolls that die during a later re-roll, the play will stand.
If a player fails to re-roll a die that should have been re-rolled, but then tries to freeze that die or use it as a part of a requirement, play will be re-wound to the point where the die should have been re-rolled. If the missed die was part of a larger group of dice, the other dice results remain unchanged.
If a player fails to specify which card is being used to generate an effect when multiple cards could do so and then rolls dice, I will choose a card that could accomplish that effect that the player owns, starting from the top of the board list and going down until I find a card that could accomplish the stated effect, and use it. The roll will stand.
If a player rolls more dice than they should, I will void the roll and rewind to the point just before it; the player will be obligated to roll at that point.
If a player fails to freeze a die when required but rolls the number of dice as if they'd frozen something, I will assume the player's intent was to make the highest X-of-a-kind possible and freeze dice to match. If that is not possible, or if judgment is required, I will prioritize higher-valued matches over lower-valued matches over higher valued non-matches. The roll will stand. Please make sure to freeze dice before rolling, especially if you are not trying for an X-of-a-kind.
If a roll is displayed as "Static", I will void the roll and rewind to the point just before it; the player will be obligated to roll at that point. (Static rolls occur if a post with dice tags is edited, or if dice tags are copied or quoted from another post.
Please do not edit posts with dice tags.
)
If a roll is made with dice smaller than d6s, I will void the roll and rewind play to just before the roll.
If a roll is made with dice larger than d6s, dice with values between 1-6 will stand; dice with values larger than 6 must be re-rolled.

Players are free to chat in-thread.

Players may ask questions about the game in-thread or via PM. If in-thread, please bold my name to make sure I see it.

Signup rules

The game can be run with any number from two to five players.
Signups officially open when I announce the end of the current game. Game Status in post 0 will indicate that signups are open.
When signups are open, anyone (whether they played in the last game or not) may type /in (or anything similar) in the thread to join the next game.
While the game is in progress, up to two people who are *not* in the current game may pre-in for the next game by typing /pre-in (or anything similar) in the thread.
Pre-inned players will have 48 hours after the end of the current game to confirm they still wish to play.
Once two players are signed up (or confirmed from pre-ins), I will start a 48 hour timer.
The next game will start once all five slots are full, or after the 48 hour timer expires, whichever happens first.
If only one player signs up for a game, I may offer to join the game myself (subject to the player's approval).
Once the game has started, if slots are still available, players can offer to join in as long as the last player in the round has not yet started their turn. Any player in the game may object to a potential new player either publicly or anonymously; if they do so, the new player will not be allowed to join.

Dannflor takes a Fool.

Post Post #25 (isolation #12) » Wed Sep 02, 2020 6:12 am

Something I want to clarify here, as it looks like I didn't explicitly state something I should have.

Frozen dice do not carry over to the start of next turn. The only thing you bring with you from previous turns are the cards you acquire. During Step 1, it's a fresh start - dice in hand (the three you start with plus any granted by Farmers) all get unfrozen and re-rolled; dice granted by Laborers and similar cards go back into the void, ready to be summoned by the card again if wanted. I will add this line to the rules.

Dannflor: if you thought you could carry over frozen dice, my apologies. If you want to take a different action with your 3/5/6 roll, go ahead.

In post 24, Jake The Wolfie wrote:Can I use 1 dice tag to roll thrice, or do I have to use 3 dice tags?

Using a 3d6 tag is fine. I'm going to say hold off on your turn for a bit until Dannflor can check in again, though. Again, my apologies for the error.

Post Post #28 (isolation #14) » Wed Sep 02, 2020 6:24 am

You can choose to re-roll dice as long as you still have at least one active die; choosing to re-roll does

not

end your turn. Only taking a card ends your turn.

Post Post #31 (isolation #15) » Wed Sep 02, 2020 6:29 am

You can take a Farmer; we'll say taking the Fool never happened, as it was due to a rule misunderstanding caused by me.

You have to freeze at least one die each time you roll (unless you used a Fool or a Merchant to do the roll), so eventually you'll be forced to freeze all of your dice - at which point you'll have to stop re-rolling and take a card.

The only time a card is discarded is when you discard a Fool to take a Charlatan. Otherwise, once you take a card it's yours for the rest of the game.

Post Post #53 (isolation #23) » Wed Sep 02, 2020 8:56 am

Correct. When a card is activated, it can't be activated again that turn - but it can be activated again on future turns. So everyone who has a Farmer will roll 4 dice during Step 1 for the rest of the game (or more, if they get any Generals / Charlatans); you'll have the option of adjusting one die by +1/+2/+3 once per turn for the rest of the game.

Reviewing. Please stand by.

Post Post #97 (isolation #35) » Fri Sep 04, 2020 10:47 am

Error is inconsequential. Play stands.

The dice tag in 92 should have been rolled as Dannflor had three dice in play at the time (the 3 and 1 from his first roll and the 1 the Laborer brought into play). However, the first two dice provided the 4 needed to make the three of a kind - the fact that the third die didn't get properly rolled doesn't change the outcome.

If anything else had happened, we'd have to rewind to 92 as in 93 the lost die in 92 *does* get rolled - but not necessary here.

Post Post #98 (isolation #36) » Fri Sep 04, 2020 10:53 am

Actually, not even sure we'd have to rewind in that case. It's basically the equivalent of a cocked die, and if the player opts to just re-roll it in step 3 regardless of what it would have been, that wouldn't really impact play at all. It'd only become an issue if Dannflor had tried to freeze it as a 1 after the roll in 91/92, which didn't happen. So all's good.

Much obliged.

If there's only one possible legal way for you to make a play, I'll assume that's how you're making it - and you did specify the +3, which strongly implies the Serving Maid's the one doing it.

But yes, in cases where it's ambiguous, not specifying could result in a rewind (say you'd needed two rolls to pull that off, and had just said you were changing a 1 into a 4; either the Maid or the Astronomer could do that, so it wouldn't be obvious which you had left for the next roll).

Hunter and other cards like it aren't played until you choose to do so. Once you bring the die into play, it has to be frozen or re-rolled along with the other active dice. Not activating it until the end (or at all!) is OK too - and if you don't state you're using it sooner, I'll assume you're choosing not to use it.

1) You roll dice (all choices prior to rolling are locked, including the decision to roll and the results of the roll);
2) You take a card legally and I verify it;
3) Another player starts their turn after you legally take a card, whether I verify it or not (if illegal and I catch it before the other player's done, I'll stop their turn and rewind);
4) Another player finishes their turn, whether your move was legal or not (unless it results in taking the King illegally, in which case it's getting rewound no matter how many turns have passed).

476 didn't mention which die you were freezing.

Post Post #481 (isolation #147) » Sat Sep 19, 2020 5:28 pm

In post 2, Farren wrote:- If a player fails to freeze a die when required but rolls the number of dice as if they'd frozen something, I will assume the player's intent was to make the highest X-of-a-kind possible and freeze dice to match. If that is not possible, or if judgment is required, I will prioritize higher-valued matches over lower-valued matches over higher valued non-matches. The roll will stand. Please make sure to freeze dice before rolling, especially if you are not trying for an X-of-a-kind.

You had a Guard and a Hunter available, and a 3 frozen. Your roll included no 3s, but did include a 2, which counts as a match with the die available from the Guard. Per the above rules, the 2 is frozen.

As 477 also mentioned freezing the 2 retroactively and goes with that play, that corresponds with the auto-freeze of the rules. No change is necessary; play stands.

516/517: Fortunately, you didn't have any frozen 5s, or the frozen 5 would have to stand. Since the Astronomer can only change a die to a frozen die and all you had frozen at the time were 3s, using the Astronomer automatically would have made it a 3. So the change noted in 517 is OK.

As a note: while players are welcome to take both their turns in a row when they have a double turn, they are not required to do so - waiting for me to resolve their first turn before starting their second is equally acceptable.

Post Post #640 (isolation #176) » Sat Sep 26, 2020 3:01 pm

Please do not edit posts with dice.

If a d7 was rolled, then the official precedent is to accept anything that came up between 1 and 6, and reroll the 7s only.

Post Post #646 (isolation #178) » Sat Sep 26, 2020 3:11 pm

With regards to this turn: a dice post was edited. I'm going to check and see if there's anyway to recall the original post. If so, that post will be re-instated and the game rewound to the previous point. If any dice came up 7s, those dice will first be re-rolled.

Post Post #649 (isolation #179) » Sat Sep 26, 2020 4:07 pm

After reviewing with the listmods:

No edits occurred after the edit I saw. All subsequent rolls are legitimate. So the only question is with regards to the first roll.
I got a glimpse of the initial roll, and I cannot say for sure whether or not it consisted of d7s or d6s. I can say that it did not appear to be an unusual roll - a mix of digits, typical of what you'd expect for 6d6.
After the edited roll, Sirius froze only one die. I am reasonably confident that no matter what the exact digits were on the first roll, there could not have been a worse outcome than "freeze 1 die" given a typical mix of digits.

The roll stands.

464352 > 46452 (3)
31153 > 115 (333) > 1155 (Knight)
5631 > 561 (3333)
325 > 25 (33333) > 225 (Guard) > 335 (Noblewoman) > 333 (Astronomer) > 3333 (Queen) and he still has an unused Hunter, which I think we can safely assume he's not going to re-roll - so that's ten-of-a-kind, 3s.

Sirius9121 rolls ten-of-a-kind, 3s

, tying inspiratieloos.

By order of the King: the tie is broken.

Congratulations to

Sirius9121

for winning To Court the King!

inspiratieloos

's turn, rolling 3 dice. Good luck, everyone!

Post Post #664 (isolation #185) » Tue Sep 29, 2020 5:26 am

Once your turn comes up (after inspiratieloos), you'll roll 3d6.

Then, take a look at the cards on the board in the OP. If any of your dice meet the requirements for a card that's in-stock, you can take that card and end your turn. If they don't - or if you want to aim for a card whose requirements you don't meet - you'll have to freeze at least one of your dice, then re-roll whatever you don't freeze. Frozen dice stay frozen for the rest of the round and cannot be changed or re-rolled for any reason.

You can keep doing that (freezing 1+ dice, re-rolling the rest) until all your dice are frozen. At that point you'll have to take a card, like it or not. If your card meets no requirements at all, you'll have to take a Fool from the board - it's a lousy card, so try to avoid that if you can. It can be upgraded to a Charlatan by discarding it (which is not a lousy card), but that costs you a turn and you end up down one card for the rest of the game.

Cards you earn are yours forever - they either add dice to your pool (some let you start by rolling more dice; some add a die with a preset value after you roll) or give you the ability to manipulate dice after you roll them.

Keep an eye on turn order - each round, the player who went last in the previous round gets to take two turns in a row (going first in the next round).

The top card on the board is the King - requiring a seven-of-a-kind. Once someone grabs the King, that triggers endgame. Round finishes as normal, then everyone takes one more turn.

On that last turn, instead of going for cards you're just trying to get the biggest X-of-a-kind you can. Most matching dice wins.

The rules go into more detail; I'd recommend reading them at some point, but that's a brief summary.
