THE HAUNTED WOODS

[last request]

AAAAAND... I'm working all night tomorrow. This is about right.

JUST ONE GAME. ONE GAME WHEN I'M FREE, LR. Is this too much to ask?

You'll always have that 1st place in the qualifying quiz challenge.

But we only have 4 masks each don't we? So say theoretically, I've put 3 happy masks down. What would I do next if I didn't want to put a spooky mask down still.

You can make a bid.

So the masks we're turning over (after the bid) are the ones that have been played, not the ones in our hand?

Yep, the ones still left in everyone's hand can't be turned over during the bidding process.

I'm probably being thick but I'm still confused.

 

[Leewilson]

Spired will help you out.

Who?

 

[Rammy]

I don't have a clue what to do here either. I was hoping Magic would

 

[Magic]

My mind is fried

Will this be Dave vs Veggie again?

I'll try to post an example round up before it starts.

Please do LR

Example round:

Everyone PMs me whether they want to put a happy mask or spooky mask down first on their personal mat. Obviously, I won’t reveal this in the thread but for the purposes of this example lets say this is what everyone chooses.

Indy
happy

Link
spooky

Potter
happy

Howard
happy

Locke
happy

Indy is selected at random to go first. One thing I forgot to mention – whoever makes the bid attempt goes first in the next round whether they are unsuccessful or successful.

Okay so Indy decides to put a mask down (happy).

Link decides to put a mask down (must be happy).

Potter puts a mask down (spooky)

Howard then makes a bid of 4.

Nobody outbids Howard

At this point the mask piles Howard will be choosing from look like this:


Indy
happy
happy

Link
happy
spooky

Potter
spooky
happy

Howard
happy

Locke
happy


Howard must turn his own pile over first. He turn 1 happy mask over so he need to turn over 3 more happy masks without turning over a spooky mask to score a point.

He turns over Locke’s mask which is another happy mask.

He decides to turn over 1 mask from Link’s pile (you don’t have to turn over all the masks in someone else’s pile if you take 1 from their pile). Link put his happy mask down after the spooky mask so the happy mask is at the top of his pile. Therefore Howard turns over another happy mask so he needs just one more!

He can choose to take his final mask from Indy, Link or Potter’s pile. He cannot see the lists above, he has to speculate where the spooky masks might be. If he picks Link or Potter’s pile at this point he would fail, where as picking Indy’s pile would win him a point.

In the very unlikely event we get all 20 masks face down before any bids are made, the player who went first will then be forced to make a bid.

Okay so whoever is around PM me whether you want to put down a happy or SPOOKY mask as your first mask in your pile.

 

[hodge]

That's just confused me futher

 

[last request]

What if a team doesn't turn up?

Good question - if a team is away they will always put down a mask selected at random.

 

[last request]

Okay I have mask choices from Potter & Indy - 2 min deadline or you will put in a random mask.

 

[PaulHaddock]

I assume you'll ask us for another mask before the bidding? Or am I confused again?

 

[Magic]

Can you not just screenshot the rules booklet from whichever board game this has been nicked from? :hesk:

 

[last request]

Locke times out!

 

[PaulHaddock]

Another question: if a person puts down a spooky mask first, doesn't that mean they can't win as they'll always reveal a spooky mask?

 

[last request]

Link has been selected to go first!

I haven't made any typo reveals this time so you'll never know.

What do you think?

Link has put down another mask - Potter please PM me if playing a mask or if bidding make your bid in the thread.

[PaulHaddock]

Omg as if you just played a card in the thread by accident.

 

[PaulHaddock]
