How to play

Spoiler: OBJECTIVE:

Have the most points at the end of (6/5/4) rounds, depending on player count. Tiebreaker: highest single scoring category (excluding FOXes) wins. If still tied, all tied players win.

Spoiler: TURN ORDER:

• Starting player is determined randomly. Once established, turn order does not change.
  
• In a 2/3/4 player game, there are 6/5/4 rounds.
  
• Each player takes one turn per round in turn order - however, every player will have something to do even when it's not their turn.

Spoiler: AT THE START OF A ROUND:

• At the start of Round 1, all players receive an R TOKEN.
  
• At the start of Round 2, all players receive an S TOKEN.
  
• At the start of Round 3, all players receive an R TOKEN.
  
• At the start of Round 4, all players receive a WILD! bonus - this must be used immediately, before the first player takes their turn.
  
• Players receive nothing at the starts of Rounds 5 and 6 (if present).
  
• See: BONUSES for more details.

Spoiler: ON YOUR TURN:

1. Roll 6d6. NOTE - each die is a different color. In order, the dice are: Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, White.
   
   (Example: a roll of 5,3,2,1,1,3 --> Yellow 5, Blue 3, Green 2, Orange 1, Purple 1, White 3.)
   
   
   
2. You
   may
   discard an R TOKEN to re-roll all unfrozen dice. You may repeat this as long as you discard an R TOKEN each time. This does not count as a roll.
   
   
3. Choose one unfrozen die. Score it and freeze it; this die will be marked as "KEPT". If you cannot legally do this, go straight to 5.
   
   (See SCORING for details on how to score a die.)
   
   
   
4. If you did not score the lowest valued die, freeze all dice
   lower
   than the one you scored. Do
   not
   score these dice. These dice will be marked as "LOST".
   
   (Example: if you score and freeze a 3, freeze all 2s and 1s.)
   
   
   
5. If you have not yet rolled three times (excluding rerolls granted by R TOKENs) AND you have at least one die left, re-roll all *unfrozen* dice and go back to 2. If you have rolled three times OR have no dice left, move on to 6.
   
   (Color order remains the same every time you roll: Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, White, skipping any frozen colors.)
   
   
   
6. Freeze all remaining dice (if any); these dice will be marked as "LOST".
   
   (You will always have to put at least three dice in the LOST pile during your turn, no matter what.)
   
   
   
7. You
   may
   discard an S TOKEN to score any die, regardless of whether it is KEPT or LOST. You may repeat this as long as you discard an S TOKEN each time, BUT:
   you may not use multiple S TOKENS on the same die.

Your turn is now over. Before the next player's turn starts, everyone else has a choice to make ...

Spoiler: ON EVERYONE ELSE'S TURN:

At the end of every player's turn EXCEPT YOUR OWN:

• Choose a die from that player's LOST dice and score it. Your choosing to score a die does not prevent other players from scoring it, and vice versa.
  
• If you cannot legally score any of their LOST dice, you may instead score one of their KEPT dice.
  
• You may discard a S TOKEN to score any die, regardless of whether it is KEPT or LOST. You may repeat this as long as you discard a S TOKEN each time, BUT:
  you may not use multiple S TOKENS on the same die.
  
  
• Turn order does not apply during this phase; players may declare which die they are scoring in any order.
  
• Once all players (except the active player) have scored a LOST die, play passes to the next player in turn order.

Spoiler: Scoring a YELLOW die:

• Choose a number in any of the first four columns that
  exactly matches
  the yellow die's value and cross it out. Each number has two copies; please specify which copy you are crossing out.
  
• If both copies of that number are already crossed out, you cannot score the yellow die.
  
• If you have four Xs in a column, score the points at the top of the column.
  
• If you have four Xs in a row, claim the bonus at the end of the row.
  
• If you have four Xs in the upper-left-to-lower-right diagonal, claim the bonus at the bottom of the "Row Bonus" column.
  
• Yellow can be scored
  in any order
  .
  
  
• Total points: all completed columns (based on the totals at top, not the numbers themselves); no points for partially completed columns.

10 pts	14 pts	16 pts	20 pts	Row Bonus
3	6	5	X	BLUE X
2	1	X	5	ORANGE 4
1	X	2	4	GREEN X
X	3	4	6	FOX
Diag	onal	bonus	==>	S TOKEN

Example: if scoring a Yellow 5, you could choose either of the two 5s in the 3rd or 4th column. Make sure to specify which when scoring Yellow.

(Yellow offers more points than your dice are worth, and doesn't require a lot of dice to score a decent number of points. But Yellow is also the only color where you can score dice and still end up with a 0.)

Spoiler: Scoring a BLUE die:

• Add the values of the blue and white dice together. Cross out the number on the first table that equals this sum. Scoring the blue die has no effect on the white die.
  
• If this number is already crossed out, you cannot score the blue die.
  
• If you have three Xs in a column, claim the bonus at the top of the column.
  
• If you have four Xs in a row, claim the bonus at the end of the row.
  
• Blue can be scored
  in any order
  .
  
  
• Total points based on how many numbers crossed out. See the second table for details. (The X in the upper-left corner does not count as a number for purposes of scoring.)

R TOKEN	GREEN X	PURPLE 6	S TOKEN	Row Bonus
X	2	3	4	ORANGE 5
5	6	7	8	YELLOW X
9	10	11	12	FOX

#s Xd out	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11
Points	1	2	4	7	11	16	22	29	37	46	56

Example: if scoring a blue 3 with a white 2, cross out the 5.

(Blue rewards both easy-to-get and hard-to-get dice and doesn't care when or how you get them. There's a good amount of bonus power too. But the harder numbers to get are a lot harder to get, and it's possible to find yourself in a situation where it's literally impossible to score Blue no matter what you roll.)

Spoiler: Scoring a GREEN die:

• If the green die's value is >= the
  leftmost uncrossed number
  in the green row, cross that number out.
  
• If the green die's value is < the
  leftmost uncrossed number
  in the green row, you cannot score the green die.
  
• If all numbers are crossed out, you cannot score the green die.
  
• If you cross out a number that has a bonus listed under it, claim that bonus.
  
• Green must always be scored
  in order from left to right
  .
  
  
• Total points based on the below table; score the value listed in Points under the rightmost crossed number.

Die value >=	1	2	3	4	5	1	2	3	4	5	6
Bonus	(NONE)	(NONE)	(NONE)	S TOKEN	(NONE)	BLUE X	FOX	(NONE)	PURPLE 6	R TOKEN	(NONE)
Points	1	3	6	10	15	21	28	36	45	55	66

Example: if the first two numbers (1 and 2) are crossed out and you score a Green 5, you can cross out the 3. (5 >= 3)

(Green starts out slow, but finishes off with a bang. Once you get past the first part, mediocre dice in late-game can be surprisingly helpful. But getting past the first part can be tough, as you need the right roll at just the right time - or a well-timed bonus.)

Spoiler: Scoring an ORANGE die:

• Write the value of the orange die in your leftmost open orange slot; if there is a bonus under that slot, claim that bonus.
  
• If there is a multiplier under that slot, multiply the die times the value of the multiplier and write the product instead.
  
• If there are no slots remaining, you cannot score the orange die.
  
• Orange must always be scored
  in order from left to right
  .
  
  
• Total points: sum of all written values.

Slot:
Bonus:	(NONE)	(NONE)	R TOKEN	x2	YELLOW X	S TOKEN	x2	FOX	x2	PURPLE 6	x3

Example: if the first three slots have already been scored and you score an Orange 6, that gains a x2 multiplier - so you'd get a 12 in the 4th slot instead of a 6.

(Orange offers the most flexibility; it's the only color with no limitations on when you can score it {other than running out of slots}. The multipliers can provide a nice boost as well, making Orange the category with the most scoring potential. But Orange needs high numbers at all times to thrive, and you'll find opponents more than eager to give you Orange 1s right when your multipliers are ready to be filled ...)

Spoiler: Scoring a PURPLE die:

• In order to legally score a Purple die, the number you are scoring must beat the most recent number you scored in Purple.
  
• Higher numbers beat lower numbers. (
  Ties don't count!
  )
  
• Everything
  beats a 6. (Including other 6s.)
  
• The first number you score in Purple is automatically OK to score.
  
  
• Total points: sum of all written values.

Slot:
Bonus:	(NONE)	(NONE)	R TOKEN	BLUE X	S TOKEN	YELLOW X	FOX	R TOKEN	GREEN X	ORANGE 6	S TOKEN

Example: if your last Purple scored was a 3, you could score a Purple 4, 5, or 6; you could not score a Purple 1, 2, or 3.

(Purple is bonus central. Like Orange, it offers nine bonuses out of eleven slots. Instead of multipliers, it offers more dice and tokens, which can set up some amazing chain reactions. Watch out for the scoring restriction, though - Purple 4s and 5s can leave the next slot in line tough to fill.)

Spoiler: Scoring a WHITE die:

• Choose any of the five other colors. Follow that color's instructions, but substitute "white die" wherever "<color> die" appears.
  
• If the instructions say you cannot score the <color> die, you cannot score the white die as that color (but may still be able to score it as a different color).
  
• EXCEPTION: If you choose blue, swap "blue die" with "white die", AND vice versa.
  
• If you are scoring the white die on your turn, you will freeze and keep the white die, not the die of the color you scored it as. (Even if you scored it as blue.)

Spoiler: Bonuses:

All bonuses *must* be claimed immediately when eligible. Please state that you are claiming a bonus when you do so.

Dice - All dice bonuses must be used immediately when acquired. All dice bonuses ignore the current value of the dice completely.

• YELLOW X: cross out any number in YELLOW. (Please specify which number {including column} when you claim this bonus.)
  
• BLUE X: cross out any number in BLUE. (Please specify which number when you claim this bonus.)
  
• GREEN X: cross out the leftmost uncrossed number in GREEN.
  
• ORANGE #: write the number listed in the leftmost open slot in ORANGE. Multipliers apply if present.
  
• PURPLE 6: write a 6 in the leftmost open slot in PURPLE, regardless of the value of the purple die.
  
• WILD!: choose any one of the above bonuses. If choosing Orange or Purple, use a 6 for the #. (Please specify which color you want and {if blue or yellow} which number you want to cross out.)

Tokens - Token bonuses may be used immediately (if relevant) or saved for later. Tokens leftover at the end of the game are worth nothing.

• R TOKEN: claim one R(eroll) TOKEN; you may save it for later use. R TOKENS can be used during your turn to re-roll all unfrozen dice. You may use any number of R TOKENs during your turn.
  
• S TOKEN: clain one S(core) TOKEN; you may save it for later use (or use it immediately, if you receive it at the end of your turn). S TOKENS can be used at the end of ANY turn to score any die. You may use any number of S TOKENs at a time, but you cannot use multiple S TOKENS on the same die.
  
• (If you have leftover S TOKENs at the end of the game, you've done something wrong. Saving them for later can be helpful, but make sure to use them at some point!)

FOXes: At the end of the game, gain points equal to your lowest scoring category, times the number of FOXes you earned.

(FOXes encourage scoring diversity. If you neglect any of the categories, they won't be worth much.)

Chain reactions: it is possible when scoring a bonus die to gain another bonus. If this happens, you must claim and use the new bonus immediately. This bonus can then in turn give you another bonus, and so on. If this happens, you must claim all bonuses acquired in the order they are received. Don't forget to state what you want to do with any Yellow / Blue bonuses you may acquire as the chain triggers!

It's also possible to claim two bonuses simultaneously in Blue (row/column) and Yellow (row/diagonal). If this happens, the row bonus will be processed first (and any chain reactions it triggers), then the column/diagonal.

Activity / Conduct Rules

All 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.
Players have 48 hours to score a die at the end of their opponents' turns.
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.

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

Please make sure to state which die you are scoring (and what you are doing with bonuses, if any!) before rolling dice.

Spoiler: Missed deadlines

If a player misses a deadline, I will do the following:

First time: I will prod the player, giving them another 48 hours.
Second time: I will prod the player, giving them another 24 hours.
Third time (or if a prod is ignored): I will look for a replacement player. If I cannot find one in 48 hours, I will auto-play their hand.
- If it is their turn, I will play out their turn. For the first two rolls, I will score the lowest value die that can legally be scored; tie-breaker is color order (yellow first {left column first}, blue second, etc.) For the third roll, I will score the highest value die that can legally be scored (same tie-breaker). If I have to score a White die, I will use color order to determine what color to score it as. I will not use R tokens or S tokens. If I get bonuses, I will claim yellow Xs as the highest remaining, left-most number; I will claim blue Xs as the highest available number.
- If it is not their turn, I will score the highest value die that can legally be scored. (Same guidelines as above, otherwise.)

Spoiler: Takebacks

If a player wishes to change a decision:
- As this is modeled after a roll-and-write, players may not change their decision about scoring a die once it is posted, unless their decision was illegal. Everyone's using pens.

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, 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. 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 rolls too many dice, extra dice from right-to-left will be voided; the other dice will stand.
  
• If a player does not roll enough dice, they must roll the missing dice. Previous results will stand.
  
• If a player rolls dice higher than a d6, results between 1-6 will stand; results higher than 6 will be voided and play rewound.
  
• If a player rolls dice lower than a d6, the roll will be voided and play rewound.
  
• If a player fails to score a die when they should during their turn and re-rolls as if they *hadn't* scored, I will assume their intent was to use an R TOKEN and subtract one from their stock.
  
• If a player tries to use an R TOKEN when they didn't have one available and re-rolls as if they had used one, the entire roll will be voided and play rewound to before the roll.
  
• If a player fails to score a die when they should during their turn and re-rolls as if they *had* scored, if there is no ambiguity over which dice they should have scored based on how many dice they rolled, I will treat if as if they had scored the one possible choice. If there *is* ambiguity, the roll will be voided and play rewound back to before the roll. (Note: scoring Yellow without specifying a column counts as ambiguity unless one of the numbers is crossed out.)
  
• If a player fails to claim a YELLOW or BLUE bonus that they were entitled to and rolls dice, the roll will be voided and play rewound back to before the roll. This also applies to chain reaction situations where a BLUE or YELLOW bonus is awarded due to collecting a different bonus.
  
• If a player fails to claim a GREEN, ORANGE, or PURPLE bonus, I will treat it as if they had claimed it when they should have (unless claiming it results in qualifying for a YELLOW or BLUE bonus).
  
• 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.
  )

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.

Sample turns

Spoiler: Sample Turn - first turn of the game

Player 1: Farren (going first)
Player 2: Opponent (going second)

Round 1. Both Farren and Opponent gain one R TOKEN at the start of the round. Both of us have the scoresheets listed in the rules - totally empty.

I go first.

First roll. I roll 6d6. (Normally this would be done with dice tags.) My results: 1,3,4,2,1,1 -> Yellow 1, Blue 3, Green 4, Orange 2, Purple 1, White 1.

I score and KEEP: the White 1. I can choose what color to score White as, so I score it as Blue. With Blue, we add White + Blue together, so I mark off the Blue 4 in my box. 1 is the lowest possible value, so I don't have to freeze and LOSE any dice on this roll.

R TOKEN	GREEN X	PURPLE 6	S TOKEN	Row Bonus
X	2	3	X	ORANGE 5
5	6	7	8	YELLOW X
9	10	11	12	FOX

Second roll. White's now frozen, so I roll 5d6. My results: 2,5,1,1,5 -> Yellow 2, Blue 5, Green 1, Orange 1, Purple 5.
I score and KEEP the Green 1. With Green, the number I roll has to be >= the leftmost number in line. 1 >= 1, so I'm okay on that front. (The X below replaces the 1 that used to be there. Next time I score Green, I'll need a 2 or higher.)
Again, I scored the lowest number, so I don't freeze or LOSE any of the remaining dice.

Die value >=	X	2	3	4	5	1	2	3	4	5	6
Bonus	(NONE)	(NONE)	(NONE)	S TOKEN	(NONE)	BLUE X	FOX	(NONE)	PURPLE 6	R TOKEN	(NONE)
Points	1	3	6	10	15	21	28	36	45	55	66

Third roll. I roll 4d6 (Green and White both frozen). Results: 2,3,1,3 -> Yellow 2, Blue 3, Orange 1, Purple 3.
I score and KEEP the Purple 3. As this is my third roll, I have to freeze all remaining dice and move them to LOST.

Slot:	3
Bonus:	(NONE)	(NONE)	R TOKEN	BLUE X	S TOKEN	YELLOW X	FOX	R TOKEN	GREEN X	ORANGE 6	S TOKEN

Dice at the end of the turn:

KEPT	LOST
WHITE 1	YELLOW 2
GREEN 1	BLUE 3
PURPLE 3	ORANGE 1

If I had an S TOKEN, I could use it right now to score any of those dice. I don't, so I can't.

Opponent must now choose one of the three LOST dice to score. Opponent opts for the Blue 3. As before, the Blue and White dice get added together. 3 + 1 is still 4, so Opponent marks off their Blue 4 on their grid. (Theirs now looks like mine.)

Opponent could also use an S TOKEN, but they don't have one either.

Spoiler: Sample turn - Opponent responds

Same game as the first turn. Opponent's Blue board looks like this (from the die they scored during my turn); everything else is at its starting level.

R TOKEN	GREEN X	PURPLE 6	S TOKEN	Row Bonus
X	2	3	X	ORANGE 5
5	6	7	8	YELLOW X
9	10	11	12	FOX

Opponent's first roll. They roll 6d6: 5,4,5,2,1,5 -> Yellow 5, Blue 4, Green 5, Orange 2, Purple 1, White 5.
They score and KEEP: the Blue 4. 4+5 = 9; they mark off the Blue 9.
4 is not the lowest valued die, so they also must freeze and LOSE the Orange 2 and the Purple 1.

R TOKEN	GREEN X	PURPLE 6	S TOKEN	Row Bonus
X	2	3	X	ORANGE 5
5	6	7	8	YELLOW X
X	10	11	12	FOX

Second roll. Blue, Orange, and Purple are all frozen; rolling 3d6. Results: 4,1,4 -> Yellow 4, Green 1, White 4.
They score and KEEP: the Yellow 4, choosing the 4 in the 4th column.
4 is not the lowest, so they also freeze and LOSE the Green 1.

I now have to pick one of the three LOST dice. I can't take the Green 1 (my next Green requires >= 2; 1 doesn't qualify). I can't take the Purple 1 (1 does not beat a 3).
I have to take the Orange 2.

Unfortunately, Opponent has made an error here. In locking the White 1 in place, they're no longer able to score Blue; nothing they roll can get them an 8 or a 10, and that's all that's left to score. Opponent should have used an R TOKEN instead of scoring the White 1; if that White 1 were literally any other number, they'd have had a chance to score their blue die as well - not only getting points for that, but also setting themselves up to score a pair of bonuses - a FOX and a Green X (which would itself pay off a FOX!) or a Yellow and an S TOKEN (the Yellow being worth 16 points ...)

Opponent still has to roll the Blue die - and they can use R TOKENs if they want (maybe the first result gives me something amazing!) but they're going to end up losing it no matter what they do. I'll get four dice to pick from instead of the usual three.

(by the way - anyone looking for tips on how to take their turn from a "typing it up and making it legible and obvious what you're doing" perspective as well as an "all moves were legal and correctly performed" perspective - Snakes's turn was perfectly executed. I was able to copy-and-paste quite a bit of it when doing my write-up.)

Could we possibly run the sequel / threequel after this game?

If you're talking about Twice as Clever and ... Clever Cubed?, I haven't played either of them, so wouldn't trust my ability to run them correctly.

If someone who is familiar with them wants to run either, I certainly wouldn't object.

Alternately, if there's enough demand for another game of this, I'd be willing to run a Game 2.

[Farren]

Right now, you have four options.

1) Take the Yellow 6 and mark off the Yellow 6 in the second column.
2) Take the Yellow 6 and mark off the Yellow 6 in the fourth column. (This is what NotAJumbleOfNumbers and Sirius9121 both opted to do; this doesn't stop you from doing that yourself if you want.)
3) Take the Blue 4 and mark off the Blue 10. (Blue always gets added with White, and White is a 6.)
4) Take the Green 5 and mark off the first Green number. (Green has to be done in order, but consequently is less picky; the die just has to be >= the next number, and 5 >= 1.

Any of those would be legal choices. I can't advise you on which of those you *should* do, but I can try to go over the consequences of each more if you want.

Let's start with Yellow. There are two 6s in the grid - top of the second column, bottom of the 4th column. Scoring the Yellow 6 means marking off one (and only one) of those two 6s. In Yellow, you get points for marking off everything in a column; you get bonuses for marking off everything in a row.

The 2nd column needs 6,1,3 to finish (in any order); finishing it is worth 14 points. So you'd be 1/3rd of the way to 14 points - but if you don't finish it by the end of the game, it's worth nothing. It's also part of the top row; finishing that row awards a bonus Blue die (which scores any one Blue number once).
The 4th column needs 5,4,6 to finish (in any order); finishing it is worth 20 points. You'd be 1/3rd of the way to 20 points, but you'd need slightly higher numbers to finish the column, and higher numbers can be harder to come by. It's also part of the bottom row; finishing that row awards a FOX (which is bonus points based on your lowest scoring category). Finally, it's part of the diagonal bonus; finishing that awards an S TOKEN (lets you score a die for free at the end of ANY turn).

Scoring either of these won't get you anything now, but it's one step closer to scoring a goodly amount of points later; the 4th column offers more points but is tougher to complete. If you do either of these, you'll still have one Yellow 6 left on the board, so it won't stop you from scoring another should you get it.

The Blue 4 allows you to mark off the Blue 10 (4+6). That gets you 1 point - which isn't much, but Blue takes time to ramp up; the more Blue you score, the more each successive Blue is worth (except for the first time). Blue offers bonuses for completing both rows and columns; getting the 2/6/10 awards a Green die; getting the 9-12 awards a FOX.

If you do this, your next Blue will also be worth one point, and you won't be able to score a Blue 10 a second time; you'll need something different.

The Green 5 allows you to mark off the leftmost Green 1 in Green. That's worth 1 point - like Blue, Green starts out not paying off much, but each time you score Green, the rewards go up. Green's bonuses are based on how many times you score Green; first bonus is an S TOKEN, awarded for scoring Green four times.

If you do this, you'll need a 2 or higher to score Green the next time - for two points.

No matter what you pick, you'll be marking off something on your score sheet - and getting closer to the higher-scoring plays.

[Farren]

(expired on 2020-10-19 09:00:00), to be exact, before prods come into play.

Which play is optimal is a matter of opinion. In pure objective terms, both Blue and Green are worth one point now, while Yellow is worth zero right now. But all three are building blocks on the way to more points later, and that's where things get dicey.

Yellow demands specific dice, but offers greater short-term rewards. Sixes are tough to get, and getting one now means not needing it later. And it only takes three dice to get a decent amount of points.
Blue's not picky now, but will get pickier over time. But as the pickiness increases, the rewards increase as well. But the specific combo you have now is a harder combo to get, and taking it now means not needing to find it later (just like Yellow).
Green's like Blue, but the pickiness factor ramps up faster - and then reset half-way through. Rewards increase, and those don't reset. Green, however, will take literally anything for your first score - no difference at all between starting with a 1 and starting with a 5.

[Farren]

(original post deleted - made an assumption I should not have made)

If you're scoring Yellow, are you doing the 2nd or 4th column?

[Farren]

Column 2 is fewer potential points but is easier to complete.
Column 4 is more potential points but is harder to complete.

Which one do you want? Both could be described as a "decent amount of points."

[Farren]

Sure.

With Yellow, the goal is to mark off (X out) columns, rows, and/or diagonals. The columns get you points; rows and the diagonal award bonuses. Four squares start off pre-X'd; those are freebies. The already-completed diagonal doesn't score anything.

When you score a Yellow die, you get to mark off a number in the grid that equals the value of the die. The Yellow die is a 6, so we're looking at the two 6s in the grid. One in the 2nd column (14 pts) and one in the 4th column (20 pts). So if you're scoring Yellow, you'll get to mark off one of those two 6s, replacing it with an X.

Neither of those two gets you anything right now, since whichever one you take, there'll still be two numbers left in the column. Column 2 has 6 / X / 1 / 3. If you X out that 6 now, it'll be X / X / 1 / 3 - you'll need a 1 and a 3 later on future turns to finish the column. Column 4 has X / 5 / 4 / 6. If you X out that 6 now, it'll be X / 5 / 4 / X - you'll need a 5 and a 4 later on future turns to finish the column.

As a general rule of thumb, it's easier to get lower-valued dice than higher-valued dice. That isn't always the case, though - and this Yellow 6 itself proves that.

So it's a question of: do you take the easier road for the lesser potential profit (Column 2), or the harder road for the potential greater profit (Column 4)?

[Farren]

Nancy Drew 39 scores the Yellow 6 (4th column).

You've got another opportunity to score a LOST die; this time you're picking between Orange 1, Yellow 1, Blue 2.

If you score the Orange 1: you'll gain 1 point. You'll also open up the next slot in Orange - which doesn't do anything special either, but it's progress towards the slots that hand out bonuses when you score them (starting with the 3rd slot).

If you score the Yellow 1: you'll have to pick a column, just like last time. 1s are in Column 1 (10 points, 3/2/1 needed to score) and Column 2 (14 points, 6/1/3 needed to score), so you'd have to decide which of those two you'd want to work towards. You're already working on Column 4 (5/4 needed to score) but Yellow isn't a 5 or a 4, so you can't make any progress there this turn. Column 2's one is also part of the diagonal (3/1/2 left to claim the bonus).

If you score the Blue 2: you'll mark off the 6 in the Blue grid. (White is 4; 4+2=6.) Same basic idea as last round; just a different die marked off. It'd be worth 1 point, and would be progress towards bigger and better things later in Blue.

[Farren]

It's a matter of opinion as to which is better.

Both of them equate to 1 point right now. Orange is 1 point specifically because the die is a 1; Blue is 1 point because Blue is always 1 point the first time you score it, no matter what you score it with.

Orange has more bonus potential and more total scoring potential - but Orange also needs high valued dice to have that scoring potential; Blue needs variety. Plus some of Orange's bonuses are multipliers - which get even more benefit from high-valued dice.

Orange is flexible - it can always be scored unless you run out of slots. With Blue, each possible 2d6 result (2-12) can only be scored once, and some numbers are harder to get than others.

If you want to practice, there's this 1-player game that you can play online: https://www.schmidtspiele.de/static/onl ... en-clever/
Note that as there are no other players, the "everyone else's turn" part is replaced by rolling all 6 dice and keeping the lowest 3 as usable, and there are 6 rounds instead of 4.

I gave it a shot myself. It shows the entire scorecard and highlights exactly what's legal to take on a given roll. It's in German, but it's mostly language independent, other than the button for Roll. The dice are all the same; the "three arrows pointing at each other in a circle" icon represents R TOKENs; the "+1" button represents S TOKENs. (I renamed them for here - the R TOKEN as it's a lot easier to type than "three arrows pointing at each other in a circle TOKEN" and the S TOKEN to keep its style consistent with the R TOKEN.)

The silver platter is where LOST dice are stored; the three spaces to the side of the platter are where the KEPT dice are scored.

One other difference in the 1-player game: in the 1-player game, you can't use the S TOKENs / +1s on your "opponent's" KEPT dice. (Normally, that's legal.)

Edit> Coulda sworn the rules said this, and when I tried it once, it didn't work ... but now it is letting me do it. Doesn't matter for purposes of this game, though.

[Farren]

Either my memory is shot or I was looking at a bad translation. One of the two.

[Farren]

When players are taking dice from the opponent whose turn it is, they can do so in any order; turn order doesn't matter there.

Turn order matters for figuring out whose turn it is to roll dice. Right now, it's still NotAJumbleOfNumbers's turn, but he's done everything he needs to. Once you pick the die you want, his turn will officially end. Then it'll be Round 1-3, and your turn to roll.

[Farren]

Correct. Blue will score you one point the first time you score it, whenever that is or whatever your dice are when you do it.

With Blue - value's hard to judge. When trying to score Blue, you need things you don't already have, and right now you don't have anything. When it gets down to the point where half of Blue is filled up, then it's easier to say for sure what's going to be helpful and what's not. If you have particular bonuses in mind - the Blue die will put you one step closer to a Green X and a Yellow X. But any value in Blue would put you one step closer to two different bonuses.

Orange is simple. The higher the die, the better it is. Especially when there's a multiplier involved (which right now, there isn't). Any die will fill the slot, but higher dice means more points. Orange 1 is definitely low value - unless you want the slot filled and don't care what's in it.

[Farren]

That, I can't answer. It's a matter of opinion - as the player, yours is the only one that matters here.

[Farren]

if i were you i'd use the blue die

+1

I was kind of leaning that way.

Is this your official play?

Not trying to rush you - just want to make sure I don't miss your choice if it's made.

[Farren]

Nancy Drew 39 scores the Blue 2. 2+4 = 6; she marks off the Blue 6.

Please let me know if you need help walking through the mechanics of taking your turn, or what the direct consequences will be of taking a particular die once you roll them.

[Farren]

Step 1: Roll 6d6.

1st number: Yellow.
2nd number: Blue.
3rd number: Green.
4th number: Orange.
5th number: Purple.
6th number: White.

If you don't like what you get, you can re-roll - but doing this costs you an R TOKEN, and you only have one, so spend it wisely. (You'll get another one at the start of Round 3-1, and there are other R TOKENs scattered around your scoresheet as bonuses that you can collect.)

[Farren]

Deadline's coming up and once again there's at least a chance I miss it. So: nudging Nancy Drew 39. If she starts up her turn in the next (expired on 2020-10-21 10:00:00), this won't count as a prod.

[Farren]

I think the lack of turn order is confusing me, because I just went?

So what do I do now pick the orange option I rejected?

Please help me out here @mod, I clearly have no idea how this game works.

In this game, you have things to do even when it isn't your turn. So far, you haven't actually taken a turn yet - you've just done things on other people's turns (that you were legally allowed to do). When you're doing things on other people's turns, the order in which everyone does those things doesn't matter, as long as everyone does them.

This is your first actual turn of the game.

The first thing you need to do is roll 6 six-sided dice

. Once you do that, you'll start having choices to make. You'll be scoring dice again - but this time it'll be dice you roll yourself.
You'll get a total of three rolls during your turn, and you'll be scoring one die per roll. But it's not as straight-forward as just "score the highest die" with each roll.

It might be simpler if you roll first; then I'll explain exactly how the scoring works. Easier to do it when we've got actual numbers to work with.

[Farren]

OP has been updated with the prod timer. As the nudge was issued before prod deadline, it upgraded to a prod automatically.

Nancy Drew 39 has (expired on 2020-10-23 10:00:00) left to start her turn.

Her turn starts when she rolls 6d6; at that point the prod timer ends and the standard "24 hours to finish your turn once you start it" timer begins. (I usually don't bother posting that timer, as cases where it gets past 30 minutes elapsed are rare.)

[Farren]

The prod timer has expired.

Now searching for a replacement for Nancy Drew 39.

If I have not found a replacement by the time this timer expires: (expired on 2020-10-25 10:00:00), I will switch the Player 3 slot over to Autoplay (per the rules listed in Post 6) so the game can resume no matter what happens. The replacement hunt will continue if the slot switches to Autoplay, but I will process all of Player 3's actions as soon as possible to minimize further game delays.

[Farren]

Check your PMs, please.

[Farren]

I don't currently have a policy on what to do when a player who's exceeded the prod time limit shows up and requests to be re-admitted to the game (before anyone volunteers to replace them). So that's something I'll need to come up with for future games.

Here's my ruling:

Nancy may re-enter the game in her previous slot. She will have until the AutoPlay timer in the OP goes off to start her turn; if she starts her turn in the last 24 hours of the timer, the AutoPlay timer will be used to determine when she must finish her turn (instead of giving a full 24 hours as normal). (That timer is: (expired on 2020-10-25 10:00:00))

Future actions and turns will be subject to the usual deadlines (48 hours to start a turn, 24 hours from the start to finish it; 48 hours to act when actions are required during other people's turns.)

If she misses any more deadlines during the game, I will invoke AutoPlay immediately and start looking for a replacement again.

[Farren]

To clear up any confusion, your turn starts when you roll 6 dice.

roll 6 dice

To roll the dice, please use dice tags, like this:

Code: Select all

[dice]6d6[/dice]

(don't copy the CODE tags, just what's inside them.)

[Farren]

Once you've made that post, take a look at the results you got. From left to right, these are the colors of the dice:

1st number: Yellow
2nd number: Blue
3rd number: Green
4th number: Orange
5th number: Purple
6th number: White

Choose one of them to score. That die will be frozen; you'll no longer roll that die. In addition, if you do not choose the lowest-valued die, you must also freeze any numbers LOWER than the number you picked.

Example: let's say you rolled 4,3,2,1,6,5 in that order. You'd have:
Yellow 4
Blue 3
Green 2
Orange 1
Purple 6
White 5.

If you scored the Orange 1, you'd only freeze the Orange 1. If you scored the Green 2, you'd freeze the Green 2 and the Orange 1 (losing the Orange 1). If you scored the Purple 6, you'd freeze all of the dice (losing all of them EXCEPT the Purple 6).

Hint: don't freeze all the dice unless it's your third and final roll. Don't freeze all but one die on your first roll either.

Once that's done, you'll roll again (second roll). This time, you'll roll only however many dice are still unfrozen. You'll repeat the above process - score one, freeze it and anything lower than it.

Then third and final roll. Same process, except this time you'll freeze *everything* no matter which one you pick - so pick whatever looks best to you, even if it's the highest.

If you don't like a roll, you can re-roll, but you can only do that once. Re-rolls don't count towards your three rolls, but they do cost you an R TOKEN. (You have one.)

Remember - if you score Yellow, you also need to pick a column that has that number. If you score White, you'll need to specify which color you want to use it as.

I'll be around sporadically over the weekend; mostly in the evenings (from a PDT perspective). I'll answer questions when I see them, but evenings are when I'll be most available to answer them quickly.

[Farren]

Original Roll String: 6d6 (STATIC)

6 6-Sided Dice: (4, 6, 1, 6, 6, 3) = 26

Now that you have dice, you have a choice. With these results, this is what you have:

Yellow 4
Blue 6
Green 1
Orange 6
Purple 6
White 3

You must choose one of these six dice and score it

. Here's what happens depending on which you pick:

Yellow 4 - you'll freeze and KEEP the Yellow 4; you'll freeze and LOSE the Green 1 and the White 3. You'd mark off a 4 in your Yellow area; you'd have to choose between 3rd and 4th column. (You already have a number marked off in 4th column; this would be your second of three.) No points either way, but progress towards points later.
Blue 6 - you'd freeze and KEEP the Blue 6; you'd freeze and LOSE the Green 1, White 3, and Yellow 4. (This would leave you with just two dice left - enough to finish your turn, but barely.) You'd mark off the Blue 9 in your Blue area. (6 + 3 = 9.) You'd gain 1 point. (2nd die scored in blue; Blue starts being worth more than 1 point each with the 3rd die and onwards.)
Green 1 - you'd freeze and KEEP the Green 1; you'd LOSE nothing. You'd mark off the first Green 1 in the Green area. (1 >= 1.) You'd score 1 point.
Orange 6 - you'd freeze and KEEP the Orange 6; you'd freeze and LOSE the Green 1, White 3, and Yellow 4. Again, you'd have just two dice left. You'd mark a 6 in the first Orange slot. You'd score 6 points.
Purple 6 - you'd freeze and KEEP the Purple 6; you'd freeze and LOSE the Green 1, White 3, and Yellow 4. Again, you'd have just two dice left. You'd mark a 6 in the first Purple slot. You'd score 6 points.
White 3 - pick any of the five above colors and score this 3 as if it were that color. You'd freeze and KEEP the White 3; you'd freeze and LOSE the Green 1. Results will vary depending on which color you pick.

Both Orange and Purple open you up to a risk - you'd be committing yourself to scoring Blue at some point during this turn, and there'd be a 1/6 chance that when the time comes, you'd end up rolling a Blue 3 - which you couldn't score with a frozen White 3. You do have that R Token, so you could re-roll if that happened - but of course, a 1/6 chance again of getting the same result.

Once you make your choice, tell us what it is, then roll the dice again. This time, you'll only roll whatever dice are unfrozen, based on what you picked.

No matter what happens, you will be LOSING three dice during your turn - the question is which ones and when. As long as you don't lose more than three, that's OK.

Edit> was missing a frozen die.

I'm going to say no, since there's a possibility someone could have sent a PM in to replace before I have a chance to resolve its turn - in which case they'd get to play out the turn.

Score blue 6 + 5

Original Roll String: 4d6 (STATIC)

4 6-Sided Dice: (6, 3, 3, 6) = 18

(Green, Orange, Purple, White)

If a player rolls too many dice, extra dice from right-to-left will be voided; the other dice will stand.

Per this precedent, the Green 6 stands as the roll. This doesn't affect 142, as Green doesn't care about the exact value of the die - just that it's high enough, and 6 qualifies just as well as 4 does.

[Farren]

Sirius9121 scores the Blue 3 (marking off the Blue 4).

In 192, two extra dice are rolled. Correction is noted in 193; play taken is in accordance with established precedent (ignoring the last two dice), so no action necessary.

1st roll: NotAJumbleOfNumbers scores a White 4 as Green.

He claims an S TOKEN

for scoring the 4th green slot. He loses: Blue 2, Green 3.
2nd roll: NotAJumbleOfNumbers scores a Yellow 3, column 2.

After this, it'll be Round 4-1. Note - after everyone scores a LOST die, but before Snakes starts his turn,

everyone will get a Wild die to score.

Note: once you use the Wild, you cannot use any S TOKENs on the dice from Sirius9121's turn. Make sure to use S TOKENs (if you want to) *before* claiming the Wild.

No one has to wait for me (or AutoPlay) to officially announce the start of Round 4 to use the Wild, but you can if you want; I'll run a separate timer if need be, as it's technically a separate action.

Snakes scores the White 5 as Yellow (4th column).

That ends Round 3-4.

Round 4-1 begins.

Before Snakes's turn starts, everyone gets a

Wild

die.

Everyone: please let me know what you want to do with it.

Yellow - mark off any number in the grid.
Blue - mark off any number in the grid.
Green - mark off the next number in line.
Orange - mark off a 6 in the next slot (multipliers apply if present).
Purple - mark off a 6 in the next slot.

Once everyone's done that, Snakes's final turn will begin. Will update player panels and the OP shortly.

S TOKENS can be used at the

end

of ANY turn to score any die.

Snakes is right. You can use an S TOKEN the same turn you earn it, but it has to be after your third roll, when the dice are finalized.

[Farren]

If a player rolls dice lower than a d6, the roll will be voided and play rewound.

The dice in posts 250-254 were all d3s. Rewinding back to the gamestate just before the die roll in post 250. All plays from 251 on have been voided.

Please roll again.

If by "score Orange 6 3 more times" you mean "use S TOKENs on it until you run out," no can do. You can use all your S TOKENs here, but you have to use them on different dice.

three.)

Game over.

[Farren]

Post-game discussion is now open. Comments, questions, feedback welcome!

[Farren]

Yeah, that definitely makes it harder to keep track of what's going on with the dice. Short of having me roll the dice and use colored images in lieu of the dice tags - and that would slow the game down rather drastically.

[Farren]

That's an interesting idea.

I could do up a code tag that players could copy to make the initial roll easier, but that wouldn't work so well for the follow-up rolls; players would have to color-code those manually (or else c&p the individual dice off the code tag, or mass-copy-and-delete the irrelevant dice). And yeah, having everyone agree on color would be important. I used background colors for the tables to skirt the issue with mafSilver and white/yellow dice, but that wouldn't work with the dice tags themselves.

Does that sound like something doable on the player end, or is it too much work?

I wasn't planning on running this again - mostly because I was looking to start up something new and I don't want to run too many games at once. But if there's enough demand for it in the future - or if someone else wants to run it - who knows?
