    Great game - Just for flavor points in my campaign, I gave each of the results names and drew simple symbols on a blank die instead of using numbers. These are, in number order, the Rogue, the Serf, the Fool, the Knight, the Noble, and the King. This makes the four "scoring" rolls (2, 4, 5, and 6) mirror the simplified four-segment heirarchy of feudalism (King, Nobles, Knights, and Serfs), a common government in medieval fantasy. The Rogue is the mischeivous swindler who eliminates you, and the Fool is a fool because the 3 roll forces you to bet more and can never be a King score. Also, it makes sense with the game's name (6 is the King), and 2 being the Serf goes alongside the "peasants can overthrow the king" concept.

    A nice, simple game that can be very easily added. Sounds nice, and the mention of "house rules" makes me think that there also can be variants.
    Like, imagine the players discover this in a human town. They find out about it in a tavern, and its played as mentioned here. Lets say they win and make some coin, but the game ends and they continue. They find a dwarven town, see a gambling place, and see some familiar activity. They ask to join, bringing out their D6, and the dwarf laughs and say "oh you poor child, we play by dwarven rules here" and shows a D8. Would be fun to see/come up with new results for the additional side and have the dwarf explain it to the party.

    • @TheBardsCollegeYT
      @TheBardsCollegeYT  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +23

      That would be really cool! I like the idea of the name of the game changing between cultures, too - so maybe it's King for humans, but Emperor for dwarves if they have a different government. Would love to hear any "home rules" you come up with!

    I ran a reverse heist style adventure today and used this game as one of the games being played in the casino. The party had to win enough money to bribe a retired lounge singer into revealing some secret information about the casino boss. We played with 5 gold stakes and the pot got into the hundreds. The final round was super tense! The party was able to successfully bribe the singer and was able to switch out the casino boss's lucky charm with a cursed version. After the switch my players wanted to go back into the casino and keep playing King until the place closed. Thanks so much for this great game!

Then dealer rolles 3d12, next rounds of bets, 1d12, bet, 1d12 final round of betting. Then normal poker rules, there are no flushes, but you can get straights, pairs, and of course high roll of everyone bluffed thier ass off, or you need a tie breaker.

    Loving this. Implementing a world game that everyone knows is a great game tool! Like others I love the idea of some RPG cheating in the midst of real world strategy. “Goblin as King goes for the winning roll, chuckling over the 60 coin pot!” (Half orc player rolls for intimidation) “However, looking across the barroom table at the olive skinned monstrosity cracking their knuckles and boring a hole through them with a death stare, Goblin suddenly decides that passing may be the best option for their own health and safety”

    I’m fond of these games:
    Pig: on your turn, you can choose to roll or hold. If you roll, roll the die and add it to your previous rolls. If you hold, add all the rolls from this turn to your total. But if you roll a 1, you don’t get any points this round. Win at a predetermined number. A basic push-your-luck game.
    Hazard: it’s basically a faster version of craps
    Dice Poker: poker with dice it’s not that hard.
    Drop Dead: everyone starts with the same number of dice. Each round everyone rolls. Add all your dice to your sum, but then remove any die that landed on 5 or 2. Once all dice are eliminated (or the last person standing gets the highest total), the game ends. Highest total wins.
    Ce-lo: a game of basically pure chance, but is great because it can handle a lot of players. Not enough room to explain. House has the advantage, too.
    Snakes: basically just farkle but faster.

Cultists drew their swords but the party wanted to persuade them to join the game! The Ranger rolled a Nat 20, so I’m like “I guess we are playing a game”. I hadn’t prepared for this but I remembered seeing this video! I pulled it up on my iPad and added closed captions to quickly refresh myself on the mechanics, then voila! We dove in and played. Game was fun! When the first Cultist rolled a 1 and was out, a newbie player said “so do we kill them now?”… we were like “no, they were just eliminated!” After a good game with lots of duels the dragon cultist ended up winning! Overall, loved the game. I’ll definitely incorporate it into my games in the future. Thanks!

    1: The Criminal; because they get executed
    2: The Mayor; not much power, but could lead a popular uprising.
    3: The Knight; A bit of power at risk from campaigning and tournaments.
    4: The Count; reasonable safe in their power base, but could rise further.
    5: The Prince; While they may rule some areas of the kingdom more-or-less autonomously, they could seek more power through succession.
    6: The King. Top of the chain, but could be overthrown by a popular uprising.

    I really like this game, I will definitely be adding it to my tavern games collection.
    I usually default to playing what I named "dice blackjack". It is like regular blackjack, but instead of cards, you are rolling d6s, and the target number is 11 instead of 21. You go around the table, everyone deciding to stop, or to roll. If you stop, you are "sitting on" your current total, and can't roll again later. If you bust, (go over 11), you are out, and your bet is forfeit. Once everyone still in the game is "sitting", there are two variants: in the fast version, the highest total wins the pot, or if it's a tie, whoever has tied for the highest plays again. In the slow version, whoever has the lowest total, (or if multiple people tie for the lowest, all of them) is out, and the new round starts.
    Another good one is skulls and roses, I recommend looking up the Shut up and Sit down video for the rules, as it's a bit hard to explain over text.

    This is amazing! I, no lie, tried to design a card game with design philosophy incredibly similar to this called "Dragons roost", starting about a week ago. It is played with just picture cards, which each did something different, and focused on paying into the pot or "dragon's hoard" each round.

    This would be fun with custom d6's. You would just need two and they would be:
    1: Death
    2: Serf/Peasant
    3: Tax Collector
    4: Soldier
    5: Bishop (or other religious leader)
    6: King
    Use simplified colored shapes (skull, man, coin, sword, holy symbol, crown). The current king keeps their side face up for keeping track. Everyone else rolls the second die. Duels will always resolve with either one die as king or no king if they both roll a 1.

    In world of warcraft classic, a popular way to gamble is to "death roll", rules are simple: players agree on a starting value, ie. 100, then the first player rolls, and then the next player has to roll on the value the first player rolls, this goes back and forth until someone rolls a 1.
    So as an example, Player A rolls a D100 and rolls a 57 (note, you can roll on any dice in wow with the /roll command), player then rolls a D57 and rolls 21, player A rolls a D21 and rolls 5, then player B rolls a D5 and rolls a 1 and loses, player A wins the pot.
    You could do something similar with a set of RPG dice, set aside a D20, D10, D8, D6 and a D4, if you roll below any of the dice, you start rolling with the lowest value dice rounded up. So player A rolls a 7 on their D20, which means play continues with a D8, skipping the D10, until someone rolls a 1.

    I did slots with my players using d8s. I said you can either roll 3d8 and win by matching 2 or more numbers. Or, I had a flow chart where one roll based on the 1st number you got would determine the other 2 numbers. My players went to the chart at first, but then they realized it was rigged and would never land on all 7s for the jackpot. It took 5 minutes after that for someone to win big with the 3d8 method.

    Random idea that may or may not be fun: having a character with a loaded die could mean they get to roll sleight of hand, and if they pass they get advantage on every subsequent roll until they replace them with the original die before a character whos perceptive enough can pick it up and realize, effectively making you op in this game and any orher dice based gambling unless you get cocky with it

    What value is the new King's value after a duel? Suppose Dwarf was King and his value was 5. Orc rolls a 5, initiating a duel. In the duel, Dwarf rolls 4 and Orc rolls 2. Dwarf wins, but is his value now 5, because he was previously sitting on a 5, or is his value 4, because that was the number he rolled at the end of the duel?

    • @TheBardsCollegeYT

    Idea: If there are 2 people standing and they have a duel, in case they both roll a 1, the house takes it all. This obviously only works in a more formal setting, like in a casino, at a table operated by the inn's owner or maybe in a thieves' camp. If they think about refusing to roll, I am sure the half-orc bouncers will convince them of doing otherwise c:

    I saw someone put their own flavorful names for dice rolls heres my take
    Rolling 1: Death, outa the game, outa luck, outa time, an appropriate name for the worst roll, died of starvation or simply disease, doesnt matter death is death
    Rolling a 2 on anything but 6: Peasant, while your not dead your definately not a king
    Rolling 3: War, your drafted into war and when its over you may come out dead, a peasant or the war goes on, or maybe youll get lucky and come out as the next few rolls
    Rolling 4: Knight, your efforts didnt go unnoticed in life and your service and tact is well cared about, however your still under the next 2
    Rolling 5. Lord, you have taken control of the board and only a truely worthy king can dethrone you
    Rolling 6. Emperor, you have conquered and claimed your spot at the top, best hope the lower class doesnt rise up
    Rolling 2 on a 6: Revolution, the peasants rise up storm the castle and takes control, but once a new knights army, powerful lord or newly crowned emporer come to topple their fiddly structured post revolution government its over
    (Finally some flavorful ones)
    Rolling 2 after a war against a 6, the peasants got tired of the constant war and took out the man in charge of throwing their lives away out
    Rolling 2 out fo war: Injured, you came out alive but not unscathed.
    Rolling a 4 put of a war: War Hero knighted, surviving the war you have a pretty nice station
    Rolling a 6 out of a war, God Emporer your nation beat the other players nation and you take over their throne
    Rolling 5 out of a war: Warlord you did so well in battle you claimrd your own lands for yourself only an empire coukd take it back
    Rolling 1 out of a war, died in war
    Rolling double 2s to win on king somehow (possible): Communism
    Rolling Double 4s: Martial Law
    Rolling double 5s: Dukedom
    Rolling Double 6s: Empire
    Dual Names possibly)
    2 v 2, Tribal Battle
    4 v 4, Honor dual
    5 v 5, skirmish
    6 v 6, All out Warfare

    Ran 20 of these, would work really well for a large group of players (10 would be fine), average was triple the pot with 4 players.

      @TheBardsCollegeYT  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for playing! I wanted it to be something you could play quickly and a few of, so the pot not getting TOO big with fewer players would allow you to play quite a few games. Thanks for the testing!

    TOTALLY starting my next Convention game "In Media Res" with this game... Not ONLY are you in a tavern... But you are playing KING! So my question is, do you have any cheat rules for slight of hand or rigged tool boxes and such?

    • @TheBardsCollegeYT
      @TheBardsCollegeYT  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That’s awesome, I’d love to hear how it goes! My go-to for cheating/dice proficiency is I give them “advantage” on one roll. So once per game they can choose to re-roll. I feel like that’s a good compromise!

      Yeah, in the past I’ve given a re-roll in dice games as a buff for that!
