Title: A game where Sunjester is at a disadvantage
Post by: Last Hussar on 21 May 2020, 01:55:38 AM
Orcs and I will tell you at length about "Sunjester's Magic Dice"

I may have found a loophole.

In Blucher you have 3d6 Momentum points.  You spend these to move unit, until you equal or exceed the total.

Here is the kicker - your opponent rolls the dice, and keeps the result secret. You only find out the score when you exceed the total rolled, and he tells you to stop moving.

This means I will roll Sj's dice.

My dice rolling is abysmal.  :d

I predict that your very first roll will be an 18.   ;)

You're making an important mistake, it's not that your dice rolling is bad, it's the fact that your dice hate you that is the problem.

This theory ruined only by the fact I let him roll his own combat dice.  =)

How many more times.  X_X......Sheesh ! ;)

If you really want, I'll tweak your dice, so they'll always (Oh, alright...90-95% of the time) come up with the numbers you want/need.
If I can strip 4 aces/kings/queens/jacks...or 'whatever' you want from a pack of cards....I know I could do that.

Cheers - Phil

(I've never used this technique, when I've been playing 'properly' (for money)....But I HAVE dealt myself the whole suit of diamonds, in one game.... Nobody noticed. ;))

Did you learn that on the Mississippi steam boats, Phil?

No, Davy. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Most of the 'tricks' I know how to do are really, really, simple...(When you know how)......But folk simply just don't notice.
I can still see some of the 'young farmers' in the pub that Von & I used to go to, looking at me as though I could manipulate matter. ;D ;D ;D....Well.... it made me laugh !

I probably couldn't do a lot of the 'tricks' nowadays.....My fingers aren't nearly as supple, as they used to be.

Cheers - Phil :)
