One way I would improve this game is with a simple music soundtrack, even a basic melody made with free tools online can add a lot to a game!
Though the rules could be clearer, the tutorial helps guide you, and once you get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun. A bit of background music would really elevate the experience, but overall, this is a fantastic entry! Well done! 👍
I wonder what inspired you!
Congratulations!
Thank y'all so much for trying and playing our game! We're very happy with that even past confusing rules y'all seemed to enjoy it!
@alexis8 i'm so glad you were able to try it against another person!
@euler-moises we initially thought of the idea of dice as the "tiny" part of the theme, and then we tried to figure out what kind of game we could play with the dice creatures. we were trying to avoid combat and wanted something lighter, so we thought a gambling-type game with dice would be fun. so we chose to re-tool poker into something more fitting to dice!
@martingonn nope! we were inspired by poker and old dice games like liar's dice. I tried searching up the board game but i'm not finding anything under "Farmer", do you mean "Super Farmer" or "The Farming Game" ? I'd like to see what board game it is
While I somewhat understand the scoring mechanics, I'm not sure if it's working as intended vs AI. But that could also be because I missed some dice or scoring mechanics :D
Good stuff!
