The game where knowledge is King, and lady luck is Queen!
Main Game
Each contestant will take turns rolling three 5-sided dice (code shown below) that will be used to determine the categories. They will then chose one of the categories based on what they rolled and answer a question. If the contestant answers correctly, the dollar value of the question is added to their score. If the contestant answers incorrectly, the other players can buzz in and steal the money if they are correct using a buzz code (explained below). Play then moves on to the next person.
Question Values
The value of each question is determined by the contestants roll.
- Singles are worth $50 (A, B, C)
- Doubles are worth $100 (A, B, B - A would be worth $50)
- Triples are worth $200 (A, A, A)
Jokers
If the contestant rolls a Joker, they can use it to match any rolled category and create a pair or triple to increase the value of the question. They can also substitute a Joker for a category that they didn't roll for $50 using one Joker or $100 using two Jokers (known as going off the board).
If the contestant rolls three Jokers, they can choose any of the categories in play, and the question will be worth $500. If the contestant is incorrect, however, the opponents cannot steal and the game continues as normal.
Winning the Game
Each game is played in full rounds, meaning each player guaranteed a turn at the start of every round. The first player to reach $500 at the end of the round wins the game. If multiple people are over $500 at the end of a round, the person with the higher score is the winner. If there is a tie, another round is played with only the tied players until it is decided who wins.
Additional Notes
- The code for rolling the dice:
Code: Select all
[dice]3d6[/dice]- If a contestant answers their question wrong, the other contestants may steal using a buzz code ('ringing in'). If they know the answer, they may send me a PM that contains a number from 1-100 and their answer. I will then roll a dice to determine the correct number, and the player who is closest without going over rings in. If both players are over, then the player who is closest will ring in. The deadline for submitting buzz codes is 24 hours.
Categories in Play
