    FORUM BOARD GAME

    Feeling like playing a (mostly) mindless game, with lots of luck and chance-based twists? Then this is the game for you!
    Presenting here the "Forum Board Game", a simple game where people roll dices with the goal of reaching the space 101.

    Of course, this would be too boring if it was only a game of "roll the dice and walk", so there are some twists, like Space Events (spaces that trigger some effect on whoever lands on it), Global Events (events that affects everyone for the whole turn) and even items!


    This is how the game works:
    1. Every player will start at the space 0. The goal of the game is to reach the space 101.
    2. Players will receive 15 coins when the game begins. Those can be used to buy items at the start of the game. After that, more items can be bought every 3 turns.
    3. At the start of every turn, a new Global Event will be randomly picked and its effects will be valid for the entire turn (exceptions may apply).
    4. All players will then be asked to either use one of their items and/or roll a d10 dice (if applicable) with the new dice roll tag (explained below).
    5. Once all players have rolled their dices/used their items, the items' effects will be applied, and then the players' position will be updated.
    6. Players that trigger an event on the space they land will then have that event's effect applied on them. Once this part is finished, the turn is over and a new one begins.
    7. The first 3 players to reach or pass through space 101 will be declared the winners. If 2 or more players achieve that at the same turn, the one who got farther will be considered to have reached it first. In case of a new tie, the one with more coins will be considered first.

    Some extra notes about the game mechanics:
    • Most actions are public. Very few things will be dealt by PM.
    • The board has a few checkpoints. They are on the spaces 25, 50 and 75. A player that pass through any of those spaces will be marked as having cleared that checkpoint, overriding the checkpoint before it. Those are used for some events.
    • Two players stopping on the same space won't necessarily face the same Space Events.
    • There are a few items available in the shop, but there are also some hidden items. If anyone finds one of those, only they will know its effect until the item is used.
    • Coins have other uses other than buying items, so saving some for the game may be a good idea.
    • "Movement Dice" refers to the dice you roll to move once per turn. Only when moving with the Movement Dice you can activate a Space Event, any other form of movement will not trigger them.

    How to use the Dice tag:
    The most common dice used on this game is the d10. You can roll it by posting the following tag:
    Code (text):
    1. [dice]d10[/dice]
    Sometimes you may be asked to roll more than one dice. You can use both of these methods:
    Code (text):
    1. [dice]3xd10[/dice] to roll 3 d10
    2. [dice]d10;d6[/dice] to roll a d10 and a d6
    Please don't edit your dice rolls no matter what.

    Some rules:
    • A turn lasts for 72 hours (or less, if everyone post their actions quickly):
      • 1. Turn Begins. Global Event is activated. Players are then asked to use an item (if they wish to) and/or roll their Movement Dice (deadline: 36 hours)
      • 2. Items' effects are applied. Players then move. Whoever triggers an Event Space that require taking some decision will have to reply (deadline: 36 hours).
      • 3. Event Spaces' effects are finalized. A new turn begins.
    • Players that don't post their action will simply not move. If a player triggers a Space Event that require some interaction and then idle until the deadline, the effect may be applied with the interaction decided by me (if it's bad for the player) or skipped (if good).
    • Players that idle for half a turn will receive a prod (unless you warn me beforehand). Players with 3 prods will be kicked out from the game.
    • Editing your posts is absolutely not allowed. If you need to correct some information from a post you just made, go ahead and double post.
    • Some events may require players to talk. Going silent for the entire duration of those events to avoid them will be punished by being sent back and loss of coins and/or items.
    • If you are not playing, you are more than welcome to post in the thread anyway. Please go ahead and taunt other players all you want.

    IMPORTANT: This game requires high activity. If you cannot check the thread at least once every 36~48 hours, then you shouldn't join (weekends are exception).

    Items:
    Dice with Kids [Price: 4]: For this turn, your Movement Dice will consist of a d10 + a d6.
    Long Dice [Price: 3]: Walk 2 extra spaces in addition to your Movement Dice.
    Fixed Dice [Price: 2]: Walk 6 spaces. You can't roll the Movement Dice on the same turn you use this item.
    Optimized Dice [Price: 4]: Roll 2 dices. The one with the highest value will be chosen for your Movement Dice roll.
    Ski Mask [Price: 4]: Choose another player and roll a dice (1~6). You will steal that number of coins from that player.
    Lasso [Price: 4]: Choose a player up to 10 spaces ahead or behind you to bring them to your space.
    Magnet [Price: 7]: Choose a player to send back to their last checkpoint.
    Gemini Dice [Price: 5]: Roll 2 d4 instead of a d10 for your Movement Dice. If both dices match, you will move twice the dices' results.
    Minus [Price: 6]: Choose a player. Their next turn's Movement Dice will have negative effect (that player cannot go behind their checkpoint due to this effect).
    Knife [Price: 7]: If there's one or more players on the same space as you, you can choose one of them to make them unable to roll their Movement Dice during the next turn. Alternatively, you can choose a player 1 space ahead or behind of you and make their Movement Dice for the next turn be halved (rounded up).

    Time to get this thing started!
    @VirajVora @ajhockeystar @TraceofLife @Duster @NotMafia @Marquis @Ascarotte @Cheezeburgar @Dreams @Fiery Espeon @Yentero @Ortheore @Latimaster

    The first part is to buy your items. Each of you begins with 15 coins. Choose the items you want to buy from the following list (you can either PM me or post it here, it will be turned public later anyway):

    Items:
    Dice with Kids [Price: 4]: For this turn, your Movement Dice will consist of a d10 + a d6.
    Long Dice [Price: 3]: Walk 2 extra spaces in addition to your Movement Dice.
    Fixed Dice [Price: 2]: Walk 6 spaces. You can't roll the Movement Dice on the same turn you use this item.
    Optimized Dice [Price: 4]: Roll 2 dices. The one with the highest value will be chosen for your Movement Dice roll.
    Ski Mask [Price: 4]: Choose another player and roll a dice (1~6). You will steal that number of coins from that player.
    Lasso [Price: 4]: Choose a player up to 10 spaces ahead or behind you to bring them to your space.
    Magnet [Price: 7]: Choose a player to send back to their last checkpoint.
    Gemini Dice [Price: 5]: Roll 2 d4 instead of a d10 for your Movement Dice. If both dices match, you will move twice the dices' results.
    Minus [Price: 6]: Choose a player. Their next turn's Movement Dice will have negative effect (that player cannot go behind their checkpoint due to this effect).
    Knife [Price: 7]: If there's one or more players on the same space as you, you can choose one of them to make them unable to roll their Movement Dice during the next turn. Alternatively, you can choose a player 1 space ahead or behind of you and make their Movement Dice for the next turn be halved (rounded up).

    You guys have 48 hours to buy your items. First turn begins right after.

    Is each item "consumed" after use? Just wondering if that knife has multiple uses available.

    What all items are 1 turn and what all can be used permanent/ or are repetitive / or for a fixed number of turns ?
    Will we get more coins later ? If yes, is it fixed or based on event ?

    All items are single-use, but you can buy more than one of the same type. And yes, more coins can be obtained during the game.

    do we get fixed coins every certain number of turns or do we get them from space events?

    also can more than one item which is the same be bought (e.g if i was to buy 2 knives) , or used on the same turn (e.g lassoo 2 players with 2 lassoos in a turn)

    There's no free coins every x turns, but you can obtain more coins from events.

    You can buy as many of a same item as you want, but you can only use one item per turn regardless of type.
