Week 2 - Testing Game of Pleasure


Concept and Storyline
Game based on race to a strip club with players taking various paths and moving board positions based on the rolling of two dice. Certain board positions enable the use of cards which good have good and bad consequences.

Rules
  1. Two or more people can play at a time.
  2. Two dice used.
  3. Roll dice and move forward corresponding number of board positions.
  4. If double rolled pickup a mystery card.
  5. If land on a "B" orange position pickup up a bad card.
  6. If land on a "G" orange position pickup up a good card.
  7. If land on spot with another player then duel with throw of dice and player with lowest roll moves back to closest orange spot.
Goal
Get to the strip club first.

Core Game Mechanic
Roll two dice and move forward towards the strip club. Avoid bad board positions and land on good positions.

Challenge
Use strategy to take different paths to strip club. Paths varied in length but also potential rewards and penalties. Hold onto good cards until needed.

Overall Impression
Well thought out theme. Game seemed complex at first but quickly became easy to play. Reminded me of the card game called "Grass". More paths to destination would have made more interesting perhaps.

My Rating
5 out of 10 stars.
