Ludum Dare #50extra
WLD: Royal Ruckus
ARE YOU READY TO RUCKUS!!!
WLD (Wrestling at Ludum Dare) presents: ROYAL RUCKUS!!!
Royal ruckus is a push your luck bidding game in which you take on the role of a legally distinct wrestler. You and 2-5 other players will each bid by expending endurance. Whoever bids the least endurance will have to draw tokens from a bag and hope they dont draw a knockout token. But be careful, if you spend your endurance too quickly, you may run out and be knocked out anyways.
Due to time constraints this weekend I decided to make a board game this time around despite knowing that can make it difficult for other people to play it. To help alleviate this I've set up a Tabletop Simulator version. Find it here.
Even with that, it is a 3 player minimum so I've also set up a discord server for finding groups. I'll be there to play it with folks as well so come play live with the developer.

If you want to play it online, it can be played via discord streaming. I'm hanging out on there to play with anyone who's interested.
The concept for the game developed from the idea of a push your luck game (as delaying inevitability) and out from there. By the time I got to something play testable and I realized it wouldn't work with two it was pretty close to submission. I'm still tinkering around with a possible 2 player ruleset but they don't work without compromising some pretty major parts of the game.
If your interested in giving it a try, we are currently looking for one more person over on the discord linked in the downloads.
