Subject: Triple Dice Poker variant?
Modified by rednaz23 (28. March 2007, 22:11:00)
I am curious to see if we could have a variant where at any point during the game you go up by 100 points you automatically lose. I think it would be cool to see, because it would cause some strategy to be added to a game that is mostly luck.

The goal if neither player was ever up by 100, would still be to win the game by having more points. I think it sounds very interesting!

Any thoughts?

rednaz23: I think it would be very simple to put 0 for every catergory except for Chance - so I would think most of the time it would not be to much fun.

Some variants I would like to see:

1. 6 dice version - with some different categories and such (both single & triple)

2. Bankroll Dice Poker - You start the game out with a bankroll of 26 rolls (78 for triple version). So you can use more then the normal 2 extra rolls for each round if you need to - but will run out by the end of the game - or use 0 or 1 roll to have extra rolls later on in the game. So if you REALLY need 5 in a row to catch up and have plenty of rolls left, you can roll extra times to try to get it. (I'm debating if it should be 26/78 - or add an extra 5 rolls to each to make the starting bankroll of 31/83 rolls for each game.)

BIG BAD WOLF: That is what I mean! You need to allow yourself the chance to win, without allowing your opponent the chance to force you into being up by a 100 point margin... Does that make sense? There is a lot more strategy in this version than the current TPD... It would make for a very interesting game, I bet you would actually like it because it would require tons more stategy than the current game...

Anyone interested in trying an unrated TPD game with those rules? (The one additional rule is you lose if up by 100 or more points at any point in the game)

BIG BAD WOLF: Yes! Bankroll Dice Poker will extend the game's strategy even further. Also how about another DP variant that adds the bonus rule to the simple (13 turn) chart? The game's strategy will change also cause 35 points is pretty much in normal DP and you can't just put a bad result on the threes anymore, e.g.
