I really like the idea of having the game be built in TableTop Sim. :)

stanov 2015-12-14 16:30

I don't get it... how do I play it? Do I have to download the Tabletop Simulator? Can I play it in single-player?

awesome, cool and creative tabletop game, nice job!

@StaNov This is a dice game that needs real life physical dice on a real life physical table to play.

Tabletop Simulator is a physics sandbox game that has tools to simulate real life physical table games.
It's only required to play this if you cannot physically print out enough of my custom dice, or don't have enough spare regular dice lying around your house.

This game is very special. I've rated this highly in innovation.

Would play in real life. Good job !

I dig this. I don't have a large stack of friends to play this with right now, but I do have a bunch of d6, so I had a play solo. A circular tower is a satisfying shape to build out of cubes.

I almost wonder if I'd be having even more fun if I'd just been tower building, and not having to do base 6 math too.

And now for something completely different lol... Honestly, I would absolutely love to play this game IRL. It's like jenga meets dominos meets yahtzee with some math sauce on the side. Get this shiz on kickstarter already bruh.

Nice Idea! awesome game

Hey there, firstly, this looks like a pretty cool game, I'll have to go and grab some dice so I can rate it in the future, then have a game or two with the kids, except one of them is only 2 so, she'll probably lose straight away, still, I've downloaded the rules will put my scores on there post-gaming sesh :P

Also, thanks for the bug report on my game, I couldn't see why it was being caused for the life of me whilst developing it!

Very interesting idea to build the game in Table Top Simulator. I didn't recognize the TTS at first glance, and I was like, how is this compo?? clearly the art is borrowed :)
Nice game. Didn't watch the entire video but got the general idea.

tintreas 2015-12-15 21:12

I can't figure out how to download it! Looks like fun though x

All hail to the Tabletop supporters!

Impossible for me to play this as I don't have TableTop Simulator. Isn't this pushing the definitions a little bit? Possibly not, but I can't give this any reviews on account of not having Tabletop Simulator, bummer :(.

tuism 2015-12-17 06:12

I haven't got tabletop sim so that's a problem, but I do have a bunch of dice, so I'd be keen to try this physically sometime :)

I see the print and play, I guess I'll have to see how I can duplicate that onto my physical dice (cos no way I'm hand-building 10x number of players dice by hand).

Kudos :)

zarkith 2015-12-17 07:04

@Neonlare It's not impossible if you have a printer, scissors, and glue. ;)

fullmontis 2015-12-17 20:18

This is a really cool and original concept. I like it.

sayrafon 2015-12-18 14:11

That's really a professionnal game ! well done !

louspirit 2015-12-22 17:24

Not sure this is adapted to the game jam concept...

antisc2 2016-01-01 23:39

Really creative, liked it! ;)

nihilaleph 2016-01-01 23:42

Pro:
+ Very innovative concept
+ Looks really fun (didn't actually play it, just watched the video)
Obs:
o Really cool to have a TableTop Sim game, would play IRL

Awesome work!

zpeedtube 2016-01-02 00:09

Very creative! :)
And cool that you also made the file for 3d printing, migth try to 3d print it some time in the future. ^^
