Hello all! Before I start episode "5" of Yahtzee once Hangman wraps up, I want to test out how a round of the game would be played, instead of doing a full pilot since there's no reason to.
I need 2 players to help me test a round out!

Alright, let's start testing. Just to be clear, there may or may not be more than one practice round, depending on how things go.  Players, before you there is a Yahtzee board with 7 categories. Each category is attached to a certain amount of money: 3 of a kind is worth $1,000, and each category below it is worth $500 more, until we get to Chance. Yahtzee is worth $5,000, and Chance is worth the total of your roll multiplied by $100. This money gets added to a pot. When you take your turn, you'll have 3 rolls to your name. In those rolls, you'll try to make as high of a combination as possible to knock a category. Behind each category is a word or set of words, that connect together to make a sentence, which is a clue you must answer. If you're so fortunate to answer said question, you'll bank the money in the pot. After you take your 3 rolls, I'll ask you a question to which you must answer correctly to remain in control of the dice.  Now Nels, you signed up first so you'll be going first, and you have control of the dice. Good luck to you and go ahead! *audience cheers as...Nels rolls*     Right off the bat, a good starting roll. 2 rolls left in this turn, Nels. You have a pair but you're also building on a straight. What do you want to hold? |

Roll the 1

Post by babytims on Aug 23, 2022 22:43:36 GMT -5
Then take the die...and roll it! *audience cheers as...Nels rolls* A five. What a way to start the round, a non-scoring combo. Thankfully there's Chance that that roll automatically goes in. The roll total is 18, $100 for each point so $1,800 goes in the pot. *ding*  And we'll knock Chance off the board and give you the word or words behind it. *clang*  And the word is "In". Very helpful clue indeed. *scattered laughter* Now, in order to keep control, you must answer a question correctly. Here's that question now: Who is the main character in The Hunger Games? |

Ms. Everdeen is right! *ding, applause* Now that question has no monetary value, but you do keep control. 6 categories left, and you have control of the dice. Roll them bones! *audience cheers as...Nels rolls*  *light applause* And already, a 3 of a kind and a straight combo! Couple of ways you can play it, Nels. You can bank the 3 of a kind or go for higher. *audience shouts suggestions* |

3 of a kind is banked. *dings, applause*  $2,800 in the pot now, here's the word or words behind 3 of a kind. *clang*  "It" and "In" are on the board. $2,800 in the pot now, here's another question to keep control, Nels: If you flew from New York City to London, what ocean would you cross? |

Now, you do keep control. Do you want to take a swing at the puzzle or roll the dice?

1-2-3-4, the small straight is yours! *dings, applause*  The pot is at $5,300 now. Let's show you the word behind small straight. *clang*  We have Expensive. In order to keep control of the puzzle, I've got another question for you: This season 4 winner has country hits of "Undo It," "All-American Girl," and "Before He Cheats." Her 2009 album Play On included "Temporary Home."
What's your answer? |
