Why can’t I have 72 uninterrupted hours…

It’s the same every LD: At first I make a rough plan for the weekend and start working, forgetting that there is something outside of LD. That never works out and I end up with a half-assed game by the end of the weekend. I’d really like to participate, but it’s an illusion to have 72 hours (or even 48h) of free time, uninterrupted by real-life obligations.

That’s why I’m gonna enter:

LUDUM BOARD DARE

So, this time, I’m gonna try something (hopefully) less time-consuming, and try to create a traditional (board/card) game!

Tools at my disposal:

  • pen and paper
  • multiple decks of cards
  • dice
  • ludo board and pieces
  • chess board and pieces
  • more dice
  • coins
  • any other household article most people probably have at home

My goal is to finish a printable pdf with the rules and board (if necessary). I’m just not sure if I’m going to make something “single-player” (like Solitair) or for multiple people. Probably not many people will bother to play it anyway. But that’s not what I’m here for, I’m here to make a game.

PS: I’m in
