Board game upgrades

13 Oct 2017

Reading time ~1 minute

A little game of Tic-Tac-Toe We were tasked with creating a new board game based on checkers with new rules with the hope that the game would be more fun and a little less predictable.

How? We did this by adding an element of chance.

Rules

  • Game grid is now a 6x6 grid with randomised numbers between one and six in each of the grid squares.
  • First player rolls the dice once. They then place one of their counters in a square whos number corresponds to the rolled number
  • once a player connects three or more of their counters in a straight line, the score of that line is calculated.
    • This is done by adding up the numbers under the connected counters. If there are more than three connected counters then a multiplier is added:
      • 1x for line of 3
      • 2x for line of 4
      • 3x for line of 5 The player with the most points at the end wins.
