Overall I was left very dissatisfied with my "Split 7" dice game toss up during episode 12, as only once did either player get a sum total of 7.
So instead I've decided to try out this mechanism instead. It still involves dice and is in the "Split Decision" spirit.
I'm calling this CRAPSHOOT.
In the center of the board we have a pair of dice.
Above and below is a row of 4 spaces, indicated by the 4 suits.
The player in control will select one space from each row.
The top row has hidden at random the numbers 8, 9, 10 and 11.
The bottom row has hidden at random the numbers 3, 4, 5 and 6.
The player will reveal one number from each row.
In order to gain control of the cards, the dice total rolled must either tie or fit between the high and the low total.
After the player reveals the high and low total, I will then have them select a number higher than 0 but lower than 37 to simulate a roll of the dice.
If the roll falls between, the player wins $25 and control of the dice.
If the roll TIES either the high or low number, the player will win $50 and control of the dice.
And if a roll of 3 or 11 should TIE, then it's $75 and control.
A bad roll simply means the other player will gain control of the cards but will not win any money.
As before, turns will alternate between the Champion (Red player) and the Challenger (Blue player) for this game.
I just wanted to test it out first with someone.
Who would like to test this out? Once we do a few tests of it I'll post a poll question and hopefully get some good feedback.
