Registering Interest: Liar Game-esque Game
« on: December 18, 2010, 01:32:26 am »

I want to run a game that is Liar Game themed. It would be tournament style, with 5 rounds each with a varying rule set. The general goal would be to acquire as much money from other players as possible, with those who have acquired the most money at the end being ranked highest. Because it would probably take a long time to both host and play, I'm checking to see if enough people would even want to play the game before I begin hosting it.

Since I've been reading this for the past week now, I might as well dust this unopened thread off and see what's inside.

I'm in.

Well, I have not heard of Liar's game but the concept seems interesting, so I would be in, for shizzle.

At the start of each round (but the first, which serves as a sort of introductory round), you're given money. But at the end of the game you have to give that money back. In order to end the game on a surplus, you should use the game mechanics to obtain money from the other players. All the rounds have different mechanics, however. Round 1 could be the clothing round, where you have to guess which item of clothing your opponent is wearing and if you're right you get all their money (I will not do anything remotely like that). I was thinking of posting the whole introduction + player list when/if enough people said they found the idea interesting.

While I'm taking the concept and some of the rounds from Liar Game, some are a little too dependent on luck or too hard to do within a forum game, so I'll be replacing some rounds with different ideas.
