You can get a copy of Reign the Final Battle Royal for like $5, might give you some more components to have fun with

You could also look at Fluxx for inspo, its a game were players add rules as you go. You could do something similar ie new rule you can use monopoly money to buy risk countries.

I'll give it a try next time we all get together

That's a neat idea! I'll give it a try.

If you're into Chess and Poker there's Choker, aka Texas Choke 'em. Other than that I know about mixing four or nine versions of the Labyrinth game and similar things, but off the top of my head no other mashups come to mind. But it's an interesting idea!

Monopoly, but you can also gamble on the yahtzee stock market.

The worst thing a crowd funded campaign can do is stop talking. I have a book that is something like 2 years overdue and we (as a whole, the backers) don't care, because we're being talked to about the process, including hardships. Life happens. I've had a different one go silent sure to similar ish hardships and the community turned on them.

Even when gtg was going through severe staff reductions (three people were left) due to a parent company downsizing, the owner was still posting monthly, with things like "no new progress, I have no information from the parent company."

Tldr Updates are critical, especially when the news sucks.

Add the pillbug for maximum complexity, hoist that queen right out of the muck

now that i took a 2nd look, maybe the pillbug can't help here ☞

The Pillbug CANNOT move a piece through a too-narrow gap of stacked pieces (violating the Freedom to Move Rule).

Quinns video review sold me over and it was a boon he noted as well :)

This game fucking rules. I have the pocket version always in the console of my truck. Games play in ten minutes or less if you know what you're doing. There's no better diner game IMO.

"dinner game" :)

it helps when you can wash the pieces

Add the pillbug to your hive and use it to move other bugs up and over it!

we play with the base but that indeed sounds interesting. i'll maybe go find that bug this week :)

we agreed for a draw but played on to see. White tried to find another way and quickly lost the game.

Probably too late, since either side can end it if the other looks like they're about to escape.

I seem to recall trying it, but running in to some issue. I should probably try it again at some point.

I'm in the 60's, I could catch up!

yw, I know how crucial feedback can be.

The majority of the work was done by me 😅. For the organization and turning it into a workable app, I did use AI tools.

Thanks! I fixed it. It will show on update on google play in the upcoming days.

I appreciate your feedback!

Sounds like fun, thanks for sharing. I downloaded it, but I'm living solo til next week, so I'll test it then.

Was an LLM/AI used in the development of this game at all?

I like this.

One "Bug" I've found so far: My navigation and status bar are overlaying.

I just downloaded it. If I get a chance (and remember) to check it out, I'll let you know what I think.

We actually don't understand the inner workings of most neural networks, this is a well-known problem. We can evolve them to solve a problem but we won't necessarily know how they are solving it.

Yeah exactly. My original statement was that it was weird that the article is phrased as if humans were inferior.
