[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 8109162, member: 6689464"] My family isn't big on rpgs, but they have open access to my dice collection. The other day they took a couple of d8's instead of the pair of d6's that the Juego de la Oca is normally played with. (This breaks the game, because rolling a 9 on your openning roll is an instant win in la Oca. The game itself prevents it by having special rules for rolling a 4 and a 5 and a 6 and a 3, but once you get a pair of d8s you can also roll 8 and 1, and 7 and 2) Once I joined on the fun, we started to go to pretty fun places and odd happenings began. Play with a D12!, Play with a D20 for an extra fast games! Start with a single d8 and dump to a smaller size whenever you roll max, and bumping one size if you roll a 1, when you roll a 4 on a d4, the next turn you advance one step and return to the d4. Rolling a 1 on a D20 means that next turn you auto advance 20 and return to rolling. (This ended in a nobody wins scenario because the game turns extra swingy without the comfort of a 2d6 roll) We then moved to ladders and chutes, with that dice rolling (falling on snakes recharges your dice up, while getting on a ladder reduces your dice). And now I'm weighting which game could be fun to break next. Which games should we try? Risk, Monopoly, some other game? Which games can be broken by having extra or less swinginess, an extended range or a reduced one? [/QUOTE]
