12. ５月 2012, 18:21:29 件名: Dice Games When you look at the statistics, the first 20 games on the list have only 4 games that are not dice-based: Chess (classic), Five in a row (another classic) and two invented and implemented games here: Frog Finder and Knight Fight. It is interesting to think about the reason behind such a popularity of the dice games. In my opinion, dice and the unknown outcome of the roll are somewhat like life itself, where we are getting set of facts and situations that are beyond our influance, and later on we have to deal with them, one by one. And we are never in total control of our lives. Such similarity, life itself and dice games, is what draw us to these games. On the other hand we are like children that need some help from Lady Luck, and when we do not get it, at least we can blame Her for bad fortune. Uknown is what fascinates us in dice games, and unexpected turns of luck is what we are wating for. Even Knight Fight has some elements of luck and unknown because of its random distribution of initial board. I do not know much about Frog Finder, but probably even there are elements of mystery and our goal is to "find what we are looking for ..." . There is one game played without a die, but as a matter of fact, it uses die character. It's Behemot, and what is interesting it not only "rolls" 1-4 spaces, it MOVES in 8 dirctions. It's a fantastic concept, something what "linear" Ludo is lacking. I would be happy to hear from you about dice games, your ideas and thoughts. Best regards, Andy. 13. ５月 2012, 14:28:18 件名: Re: Dice Games Herlock Sholmes: i think those games are more popular because they are fast to play ... the outcome of the dice limits your choices, are often less complicated than their non-dice counter-parts the faster a game can be played, the easier time-limited people will start some, and the faster a game can be played, the sooner a new game can start, so more games per time can be played 13. ５月 2012, 14:36:30 件名: Re: Dice Games Hrqls: that's true, and you know what I noticed in myself ? That my ego (desire to be the best) is much bigger than my skills in most non-dice games and this gap creates my frustration. Dice games, by their very nature, close this gap and I play with pleasure ... 14. ５月 2012, 09:52:19 件名: Re: Dice Games Herlock Sholmes: this site offers a balance between pleasure and frustration and the motivation to become better :) 15. ５月 2012, 06:13:43 件名: Re: Dice Games Herlock Sholmes: Try these Dice.lol Backgammon Masters Applies for Guinness Gamer World Record in Farthest Backgammon Dice Toss Backgammon Masters, the online game operator has applied for a Guinness Gamer World Record in the farthest backgammon dice toss.
