 Week 8: Celebrity Jousting - The Board Game

   
Friday, September 11, 2009

Week8: Celebrity Jousting

There is no source flash file this week, because this is a cut-out-and-play board game.

The rules are simple. Each piece has some number of arrows on it. The arrows are both swords and shields: You can move any number of squares in the direction of the arrow (up to hitting another piece or the edge of the board), and if there is an enemy you can take their piece by landing on them. However, if they have an arrow pointed at the piece charging at them, they're shielded... you can't take them from that direction.

The king piece can move 1 square in any of the 8 directions, and can be taken from any direction. The game is won by capturing your opponent's king.

Take turns, play nicely. Let me know if the rules are unclear, or the game should be tweaked to be [faster, slower, more thoughtful, more bloody, etc]. And, of course, suggestions to BadGames@chriscanfield.net are always welcome.

P.S. Advanced papercraft pieces are available for the serious Otaku out there, but are completely optional.

One Bad Game a Week

What would you make if you didn't have time for options, menus, art, polish, attention to detail, or debugging? You'd be left making one bad game a week, each week, for a full year.
