Mini-games currently possible to play

Postby Pinkie-Pie » Fri Jul 28, 2017 2:35 pm

So idle thoughts made me realize that one can play yahtzee in haven since the bone dice are functional in that they roll a random 1-6 number every time they're placed into an inventory.

A pot or a birch basket has a 3x3 grid that you could play Tic-Tac-Toe in.

A cupboard being 8x8 is the same as a standard chess or checkers board, and with creative game piece substitution either of these could be potentially played.

Stackable objects, like coins, make playing mancala possible.

you could do connect 4 if you can visualize the inventory spaces as having gravity.

I wonder what else you could potentially play with what is already in the game. There has to be more creative way to use the dice.

You could pave a Go board and play it. That's a lot of piece to walk through, though. There's also checkers (draughts), One could make a Backgammon board, too. With paving, there are a lot more possibilities.

I think betting could add some spice to many games. You could also play stripping games, although I'm not sure what the point of that would be since nude heartlings aren't particularly hot.

It's possible to make animals race each other. Here's a video of a fighting tournament at the community fair followed by a frog race:

It would also be possible to play Cho Han, a gambling game loved by the Yakuza. Bets should be placed before the dice are rolled, though, and everyone involved should be looking in the container at the same time to make sure no cheating is happening.

Since it's possible to play chess, you could also play dice chess.

The main problem with chess would be differentiating the white team and the black team. I guess the easiest way to do that would be to make each team use items of different qualities. Whites could be q10, blacks could be q11.

You could just use items that are the 'same' but not really. Like Toads/frogs. Two different colors of rock, wooden cup/glass cup

So I just realized that when you drop an itsy bitsy spider it runs really, really fast in a very erratic way. You could release one in an enclosure and compete to see who can catch it first.
