Nintendo Treasure Hunt (Game Closed)

[ForsakenSwordsman]

GAME CLOSED (move along)

Hi all, I’m making a triumphant (!) comeback with a simple little game. Consider yourselves guinea pigs in my most heinous experiment! Also some of you are hamsters perhaps.

GAME OVERVIEW
At the start of the game there are 60 ‘cards’ on the table. Players take it in turns to select a single card and see what it is. There are two types of cards, both worth different points (see below). The aim of the game is to score the most points; it’s simple, random fun.

PLAYERS AND TURN ORDER
The game allows for up to 10 players (at the moment), which means each player gets six turns each. Turn order is decided based on the order players enter the game.

CARD TYPES AND GETTING POINTS
Cards come in sets of four. In each set there are 3 cards which are the same (basic cards) which are worth 5 points each. The more duplicates you obtain, the more basic cards are worth. If you have two of the same cards they are both worth 10 points each (a total of 20 points for both). If you have all three they are each worth 15 points (a total of 45 points for all three.) Getting duplicates is the key to a high score. Each set of cards also has 1 rare card, which is worth 20 points by itself.

TRUST AND RANDOMNESS
On my computer I’ve created a simple little game thingy that randomly generates what each card is for me. However, I can’t actually show you this game/program, so if you enter it’s important that you trust that I’m not cheating you or making stuff up. The game would be no fun for me if I did that!

OTHER DETAILS
I’m keeping the game mega simple for now, so even though I say ‘cards’ above, what you’ll see is a list of 60 numbers, and each time someone selects one I’ll remove that number! It’s not flashy I know, but it works well enough for now. It’s also worth noting that things always go wrong at first, so this first game will really be a bit of a beta test.

EXAMPLE
Entrant: Mr E Xample
Card 1: Koopa Trooper (Basic)
Card 2: Banzai Bill (Rare)
Card 3: Koopa Trooper (Basic)
Card 4: Para Goomba (Basic)
Card 5: Mushroom (Basic)
Card 6: Wario (Rare)

Final Score: 70

The player drew one card each turn by choosing one of the remaining numbers that was available on the front page. They ended up with the cards above. Each basic card is worth 5 points, but the player has two basic cards that are the same, so they double to 10 points each. The rare cards are worth 20 points each. This all adds up to 70 points in the end, but is this enough to beat everyone else's score?!

Okay, pretty much set up now! We need ten entrants, so feel free to enter if you want, but please only enter if you're going to play till the end please.  

[MaverickDrifter]

So, is the game gonna be played in this thread? If so, I might play the second game, just so I can see how the game works.

Yeah, it's all played via this one thread. It's a simple enough game, but my explanation is a little lacking I reckon. Feel free to enter next time if you want, so long as you get in before the other entrants! XD  

[Paper Sonic]

I'll have to read over this.
BUT NYO MAH GOD IT'S FS.
=O
Edit: Looks easy. Count me in!  

[l-Kathulu-l]

So is this thing a short, one night thing, or will this be over a few days?  

[Cabron the Swan]

I kinda get it. It's like concentration, except you get one guaranteed each turn instead of missing out if you don't find a pair? sweatdrop

I'll play if I'm on the right page. If not I might need to watch the first round.

 

[J of The Wind]

*raises hand*

Ill participate! blaugh

I love being a guinea pig!


...sometimes. ._.  

[ForsakenSwordsman]

@I_love_Inuyasha1: Yo! Congrats on being entrant 1

@l-Kathulu-l: it's pretty quick, but I guess it might last a few days overall, depends on how things go really.

@Lady Psycho Sexy: That's not really it, the premise is that you turn over cards and get points, and pairs are worth more points. My explanation was a little poor at the top, so I'll make edits soon! If you want to enter you should enter though, I'm going to guide everyone through it all, and it's really very simple and very very random!

@J of The Wind: welcome entrant number 2!  

[ForsakenSwordsman]

I wrote out a quick example too! I'll add it to the rules if it helps.

Entrant: Mr E Xample
Card 1: Koopa Trooper (Basic)
Card 2: Banzai Bill (Rare)
Card 3: Koopa Trooper (Basic)
Card 4: Para Goomba (Basic)
Card 5: Mushroom (Basic)
Card 6: Wario (Rare)

Final Score: 70

The player drew one card each turn by choosing one of the remaining numbers that was available on the front page. They ended up with the cards above. Each basic card is worth 5 points, but the player has two basic cards that are the same, so they double to 10 points each. The rare cards are worth 20 points eacg. This all adds up to 70 points in the end, but is this enough to beat everyone else's score?!

Hope that helped some!  

[The Rawk Hawk]

I want to enter. :3
