Ep. 7 - Games With Random


Listen Later

This week, our topic is "Games With Random". Some games have you rolling dice, drawing cards, or picking chits out of a bag. In any case, the of unpredictability a draw or roll takes a bit of the control away from the player. Games like Chess eliminate random completely but other games use it to great effect. In this episode, we'll share a list of games that do this.

          In the game Five Tribes, there are five different colored meeples, each with a different function.  Identify each based on their tagline:

          1. “I work best in places that match me”

          2. “Just plain points.  Doesn’t need to be more complicated than that”.

          3. “Show me the goods!”

          4. “Cold blooded killers”

          5. “We might be old but we still know how to summon djinns”
