Roll of the Dice - application - part 2

Once again making down my list of last played games talking about how RNG relates to them.


Next down the list is ... Cat Tower ... another dexterity game. I don't usually play this many dexterity however many of my friends enjoy playing these type of games. I actually would rather play heavier games but I play to have fun with my friends. Well the main RNG in this game is a die. Two of the sides have a single cat on it so it means a single cat should be rolled more often. The other RNG mechanic uses tokens with effects on the flip side. The RNG is pretty much the same with cards as the tokens are taken, the chances change for the remaining tokens. You get one when you roll a Fatty Catty so the odds of getting one of this is lower than a standard roll effect.


Sun, Moon, & Stars. Finally a non-dexterity game. This is a micro deduction game. Quite a new game. There's four different hidden roles and a small deck of cards to draw from. Because of the small deck of cards and each player only having a single card for their hand, it is possible to count cards just like a standard deck of playing cards. The hard part is remember what the cards do as they have creative names and some do multiple things. However there is only one of each card so if you are actively watching and remembering it is possible. Even if you are able to deduce the roles that others have gotten, you still need to be lucky to draw the right card to achieve your goal and avoid giving others the win.


So hopefully that's given you some insight into RNG and how it applies to games. I mentioned house rules in my previous post so I might do a post on that and what sort of house rules we apply in the games we played. Look forward to the installment.
