Because of where I live, I am forced to drive on the the Schuylkill Expressway to work, which is a commute planned by Satan. There is always traffic, so I have to get up early if I want to be at work on time. I figured I'd just walk to my polling place before leaving.

There wasn't even a line at the polling place. I just waltzed in, gave them my name, and voted. Took about 4 minutes, all told.

It started that way. Then a lot of development happened.

Every city should just go back to the Castra system.

So I had to greatly condense a series of rules for two games so they'd fit on an index card, and I want to make sure that they still make sense to people who don't already know the rules.

Do these make sense? Could you play these games?

quote:

Liar’s Dice

2-6 Players, 5 Dice

Everyone rolls their dice, hiding the result. Each round the caller bids on how many dice in total have a certain face up. Anyone may challenge the caller by saying Liar! Everyone reveals. If there is fewer than the bid the caller discards one die. If it is equal or greater, the challenger discards. If nobody challenges, the person to the left becomes the caller and must bid a higher amount of the same face OR any amount of a higher face. The caller may make a spot on bid for a number of faces. Once made, everyone shows their dice. If the caller is exactly right, everyone else loses one die, if they are wrong they lose two dice. Each round the person to the left of the last caller becomes the new caller. The game is over when only one player has any dice left.

Hexer

1 Player, 4 Dice

Roll all dice, if there are no sixes you lose. If you roll any sixes put them aside as reserves. Roll remaining dice. Put aside any sixes. If there are none put one of your reserves back into play. Continue until you have 4 sixes (Win!) or until you roll all four dice with no sixes (Lose!)

The second one sounds dumb, but I tried it and it's actually pretty fun for like 5 minutes. It's definitely a timewaster kinda game.

Generic Board Game

Roll 2 dice. Move your playing piece X spaces where X is the combination of both dice rolls. Whoever gets to the last space first wins.

Yeah both of these were taken from rulesets that took up most of a page, and I tried to squeeze every word out that I could while still having them playable.

Need to mention that in liar's dice after you reveal you have to roll again and hide

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.



Welp. I'm pretty sure the GBS game is lost.

But! Thanks again, Kris, and Sam, for organizing and running such fun games. Good on y'all, mafia thread.

I'm a big fan of beards but they can be bad when they're patchy or unkempt. My biggest beard issue was realizing that maintaining a beard properly is actually more work than shaving every day.

I've been working on growing my beard out since Peru (figured since I couldn't shave for 5 days I may as well) and it'd been fun. I use oils and stuff, it's all very classy.

I got a set from Beard Bro that are all very nice, then I bought a couple from a local soap place that are a bit less gimmicky.

I am lucky in that I am the only person in my family that can grow a full beard. Everyone else has patchy or non-existent facial hair.
