I couldn't figure out an optimum strategy for this game. Really just got lucky so many people had mummy.

I thought it would have been a much larger disadvantage to only have 4 coins but since lots of people with last picks early had mummy it ended up getting the ties. However I don't even know if that was the best strategy to win this game. It was a good strategy to not be last but not neccesarily to win.

that's the dilemma of the game. more people move less coins, less people move more coins.

I found it really interesting when the picks came in that it came out 9 9 9 5 4

That's a good point. I had to google it, but it does add that Korean Horror vibe.

Death Match #4

Boo Radley 7 Gaudreaus vs. Timbo 4 Gaudreaus.

I will have the death match setup in about an hour. Please choose a suitable time to play. I'm not available Tuesday Night.

Once again it will take around an hour.

At this time only Boo Radley and Timbo can post. I will set up a quicktopic for the rest of the players.

Once again, non-participating players have the option to bet 1 Gaudreau on who they think will win.



The fourth death match is

INVISIBLE MAZE RUNNER

In this game, you will try to find and avoid invisible walls and make it to the opposite corner

Imagine you are standing on a chess board with 7 rows and 7 columns (Bottom Left is A1, Bottom Right is G1, Top Left is A7, Top Right is G7).
There are 32 invisible walls. Both players start on the bottom corners. Boo Radley will start at A1 and Timbo at G1. And the shortest distance to the end is the same.

The starting player (Boo Radley) will move first. Both players will take turns moving 3 squares each (for example B1 -> C1 -> D1). You may move in any horizontal or vertical direction, you cannot move diagonally. If a player moves through a hidden wall, their move will have failed and they must move back to where they started last and I will post where the wall is that they walked through, ie "there is a wall between A1 and B1"

Both players have one Double Chance token. When the token is used, they can move 6 spaces instead of 3.

The first player to reach the opposite corner wins (A1 -> G7, G1 -> A7)

All actions will be done in the thread, post your moves then wait for my reply.

If you have any questions ask here.

I'm not playing, but curious. Do you get a notification if you hit two walls? For example, where you tried to go A1 to B1 to C1, and there was a wall between A1 and B1, as well as between B1 and C1, would you get notice about both walls, or just the first one?

Just the first one.

If this was done in real life with players walking I would stop them after they hit one wall. We can't do that here so players will post all three steps.

7 PM Calgary time = 6 PM San Diego Time.

Works for me.

Good luck and may the invisible walls block your path

i made a mistake in the explanation, I will edit it.

A1 -> B1 -> C1 would only be two moves since you started on A1.

So please go B1 -> C1 -> D1 -> if you wanted to move straight up.
