    I thought of a 5-player variant of this game.
    One player is Pac-Man, while the rest are ghosts.
    The turn order is Pac-Man, Blinky, Pinky, Inky, Clyde. (They are red, pink, blue, and orange respectively for you people who don't know which name goes to which color.)
    Pac-man rolls 3 dice, while the ghosts roll one die.
    As a ghost, you are unable to turn around 180 degrees at any time unless Pac-man has grabbed a power pellet on his last turn.
    You can pass other ghosts' spaces, but you cannot land on the same space as another ghost. Determine your path ahead of time to avoid this!
    When you catch Pac-man, he loses one of his 3 lives and you are the MVP of the round.
    If Pac-man eats all the dots on the board, he wins. If Pac-man runs out of lives before all the dots are eaten, the ghosts win.

      That's what's nice about board games. They're usually not too expensive. Although, I got this one when it was on sale. It was around 20% off… a little over $15.
      I checked Amazon, and the game is not on sale right now. However, Tetris was discounted, and that board game video should be on Photics.TV soon. 🙂

      @PhoticsTV  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +28

      I can see that as a possibility. 😄
      …but I thought it was fun.
      When giving a board game as a gift, it depends on the recipient. I like this game because I like Pac-Man. I think the design of the game is great. The figurines are cute and I like the little cutouts. So adorable!
      Thinking of other board games, I prefer Risk rather than Monopoly, because I think Monopoly is not as fun as the strategy of Risk. And currently, Connect 4 is the #1 board game on Amazon. Connect 4 is a nice game. But right now, I like Pac-Man more.
      (Although, wow, Connect 4 is an even cheaper gift. Currently at $7.49.)
      Candy Land was ranked high, but I think The Game of Life is more fun. That one wasn't even in the top 50. It was ranked #72.

      @@PhoticsTV it feels like they used the same game plans as the old board game of the 80s (with the ugly Pac-scooper and Marbles), but changed it to be clean-up friendly. Imagine if the Donkey Kong board game is given the same treatment, but the character art is based on the 1994 Game Boy game.

      This does seem like a game I'll put in storage, but then maybe play it again later. Except, there's a battery in Pac-Man. I haven't removed it yet, but I've been thinking about doing that. Buffalo Games did a nice job with Pac-Man. I don't want to accidentally break it.

      That's a way to improve the board game. I've only heard the Pac-Man figurine makes one sound effect… _“waka waka”_ …the munching a dot sound. It should make the game start melody and the sound when Pac-Man gets caught.
      When making the video for Tetris… th-cam.com/video/jWES2usUnqs/w-d-xo.html …I wanted to include background music, but I couldn't find the game. I thought I had Tetris for the original GameBoy.

      It's got dice, it's got cards, it's got a flat playing area, and it has figurines - but it does feel different than a traditional board game.
      Perhaps it's because Pac-Man looks awesome. That's the standout piece of the whole game… but it is called Pac-Man.

    • @PhoticsTV

      I'm not 100% sure I understood the rules, but I think the main problem was that Pac-Man just got two bad rolls.
      Although, that could also be part of the strategy of the game. In the arcade, I usually wait for the ghosts to get closer to the energizer. I didn't do that in the board game.

    Say, what are the rules for the fruit pieces and the blue ghost pieces?

    • @PhoticsTV
      @PhoticsTV  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The instructions say, _“When a ghost is eaten, the PAC-MAN player collects a Blue Ghost Token and places it in his score pile. Each Blue Ghost Token is worth 200 points!”_
      …so it looks like those little disks are a way of keeping score. Ghosts are only 200 points each. Apparently, it's not 200, 400, 800, 1600, like in the arcade.
      And for fruit, it says, _“If a Fruit Card is drawn, then place a fruit token on PAC-MAN's start space.”_
      Apparently, it increases in value during Pac-Man's turn. It goes like this…
      🍒- 100 Points
      🍓- 200 Points
      🍊- 500 Points
      That's similar to the arcade, but strawberries are worth 300 in the arcade. The big points are from completing all the dots in one of the four sections, which is 800 points each.
      Although it says an alternate scoring is to count each dot as 40 points… for more arcade like experience. It also mentions rules for "Arcade Mode", where Pac-Man has three lives, rather than just one in the standard rules.

      It said… _“No Import Charges & $24.37 Shipping to Peru ”_
      Again, I'm not the expert on such matters, but that shipping cost is more expensive than the game. 😄
      Although, I saw another page that said… _“Free International Shipping to Peru - Orders with at least $49 USD of eligible items and shipping to a Peru address qualify for Free International Shipping. To learn more about eligibility requirements please visit the, How to get FREE Shipping to Peru page.”_
      So, maybe Amazon could work… although reaching the free shipping requirement seems to be a challenge. This is something to check with Amazon though.
